It appears that the Umno-PAS political cooperation has reached a point of no return as the Islamist party’s president Abdul Hadi Awang divulges reasons why the pact fell through.

Hadi had likened the Muafakat Nasional collaboration to consuming “unripe durian”, which could cause stomach discomfort.

While disclosing reasons why PAS chose to work with Perikatan Nasional (PN) instead of BN, he said his party finds it burdensome to accept Umno, which he deemed to be a “murky” party.

“We (PAS) are not with BN because there it is still murky… the confusion is that there are still bribe takers. And there are those who are greedy and wish to govern again.

“(Although) we have just helped to bring down Pakatan Harapan,” he said while delivering a weekly lecture in Marang, Terengganu, today.
