Better For Perak Pas To Join BN, Says Mukhriz

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 9 (Bernama) -- It is better for Perak PAS to join the Barisan Nasional (BN) to strengthen Malay unity and hence enable a stronger government to be formed in the state, said Umno Youth executive committee member Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir.
Mukhriz, who is also the Member of Parliament for Jerlun, said PAS should consider this alternative as the combined seats of the BN, PAS and Independents in the Perak legislature would enable a strong government to be formed in the state.
"If the Malays are united, all Malaysians stand to benefit," he told reporters at the pre-launch of the Down Syndrom Association of Malaysia's gala dinner, here on Monday.
Mukhriz said this in commenting on the political turmoil in Perak in the wake of the BN wresting power from Pakatan Rakyat in the state.
In the general election last March, PAS won six seats, PKR (7) and DAP 18 to form the Pakatan Rakyat government in Perak. The BN won 28 seats.
However, following defections from amongst its ranks, the coalition lost its majority in the 59-seat state assembly and thus enabling the BN to take over.
Mukhriz also urged DAP chairman Karpal Singh to desist in his plan to take legal action against Sultan Azlan Shah of Perak and accept the fact that the BN was now in power in Perak.

tunku : if pas can work with umno, it will be a miracle.i don't think they will as long as they have nik aziz who hates umno more than he hates the jews.i think the leaders should really sit down and think it over.at least there are still wise leaders out there.some only knows how to scream and shout and some do it in their own humble style.
