Up to party leaders to decide on Muafakat Nasional pact, says Selangor Umno

Selangor Umno will leave any decision on the Muafakat Nasional (MN) cooperation to the top party leadership and PAS, Selangor Umno liaison committee chairman Noh Omar said yesterday.

He said this appeared to be the best action as both sides have their respective leadership committees.

“If possible, Selangor Umno wants MN to be as it was before. That would be much welcomed. Nevertheless, we leave it to the leadership of both parties to make their decision.

“Every party has its committee, so if the president says it (the MN cooperation) is barely alive, it means it is still alive, but whether it will continue to live or otherwise, we leave to the leadership,” he told reporters at the launch of an event in Kuala Lumpur.

Noh was asked to comment on PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man’s statement yesterday, that MN was clearly still alive and had not ended as alleged by various quarters.

This followed a statement by Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi who recently said that MN was floundering.
