PETALING JAYA: Barisan Nasional General Secretary Annuar Musa says he is willing to be fired to maintain cooperation between the Malaysian parties and the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government.
In a Facebook post, Annuar said that he supported the decision of the Supreme Council of Umno not to cooperate with the DAP and opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim.
“I want Umno to lead the cooperation between the Malaysian and Islamist parties, while rejecting any division between the ummah. If you want to fire me for that, go ahead, ”he said.
Annuar’s comments come in the wake of a call by Pasir Puteh Umno Youth Chief Muhammad Saifullah Ali for the Umno leadership to expel Annuar from the party.
Saifullah said the party should crack down on Annuar as he was seen as a spokesperson for PPBM.
Annuar noted that during his 40 years in Umno, meetings with representatives of the party’s division often discussed issues related to Malays, Islam and the people.
However, he said, the last year had only been calls for rejection and disunity among Malaysians, adding that “we are fighting among ourselves. DAP can start smiling. “
He also claimed that the divisions of the Umno and the MPs in Kelantan were slowly being passed on to the opposition parties.
“Hopefully, it won’t be the same at the national level,” he said.
Earlier, Kelantan Umno boss Ahmad Jazlan Yaakub announced that he was ready to step down as chairman of the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) if PN did not dissolve parliament by the end of this month.
The Machang deputy had said that he would do so as a sign of his unwillingness to work with the PN government, if Putrajaya did not ask Yang di-Pertuan Agong to dissolve Parliament.
