Perlis Umno, BN ready to go solo without PAS

Perlis Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN) are ready to go solo without PAS in the 15th general election (GE15) if the party does not want to maintain the political cooperation forged through the Muafakat Nasional (MN) agreement.

Perlis BN chairman Azlan Man said the state Umno was moving single-handedly and had never forged any cooperation with PAS.

“There is no political cooperation between (Perlis) BN and PAS at the moment,” the state Umno liaison committee chairman told reporters in Kangar last night.

Azlan, who is also Perlis menteri besar, said PAS seemed to have no concrete stand on whether to continue or end the MN charter by putting the blame on Umno through unnecessary statements issued by its leaders.

“However, it all depends on the decision of the top Umno leadership,” he added.
