No seat for Pakatan at annual Umno assembly, but PAS gets red carpet

Umno has decided not to invite its federal government partner, Pakatan Harapan, to its general assembly from Wednesday to Saturday, opting instead to invite PAS as a reciprocal gesture after attending PAS's congress.

Umno President Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi emphasized that the assembly will not address coalition cooperation, particularly regarding the 16th general election, but will focus on exploring potential benefits and risks for Umno and Barisan Nasional.

Zahid also highlighted the public desire for unity within Malay parties, rather than solely seeking to unite the Malay parties themselves.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 7 — Umno will not be inviting its federal government partner Pakatan Harapan (PH) to its general assembly, starting this Wednesday to Saturday.

Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said PAS was invited instead, as a reciprocal gesture for the invitation to the Islamist party’s 72nd congress in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, last weekend.

“There's give and take. If they invite us, we invite them,” he was quoted as saying by Utusan Malaysia today.

Umno secretary-general Datuk Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki had earlier announced that the decision to invite PAS had been made in a consensus during a supreme council meeting.

Zahid said the Umno assembly this year would not decide on cooperation with any coalition, particularly ahead of the 16th general election.

He said discussions would instead focus on the potential benefits and risks to Umno and Barisan Nasional should any such cooperation be formed.

“Society wants Malays to champion Malay unity — not just within Umno, but across Malay parties.

“I don't want to unite Malay parties, but as a whole, Malays want Malay unity to be realised,” he was quoted as saying.

巫统决定不邀请其联邦政府伙伴希望联盟参加周三至周六举行的全体大会，而是选择邀请伊斯兰党作为对等姿态，此前巫统已出席了伊斯兰党的代表大会。

巫统主席拿督斯里阿末扎希强调，大会不会讨论联盟合作，特别是关于第16届全国大选的合作，而是会重点探讨巫统和国阵可能面临的利益和风险。

扎希德还强调了公众希望马来政党内部团结的愿望，而不是仅仅寻求马来政党之间的团结。

吉隆坡，9月7日讯——巫统将不会邀请其联邦政府伙伴希望联盟（PH）参加从本周三至周六举行的全体大会。

巫统主席拿督斯里艾哈迈德扎希德哈米迪表示，伊斯兰党被邀请参加，作为对伊斯兰党上周末在吉兰丹州哥打巴鲁举行的第72届代表大会的回礼。

据《马来西亚前锋报》今日报道，他表示：“凡事都有利弊。如果他们邀请我们，我们也会邀请他们。”

巫统秘书长拿督阿斯拉夫·瓦吉迪·杜苏基早前宣布，邀请伊斯兰党的决定是在最高理事会会议上达成共识后做出的。

扎希德表示，巫统大会今年不会决定与任何联盟合作，尤其是在第16届全国大选之前。

他表示，讨论的重点将放在如果双方达成此类合作，巫统和国阵可能面临的潜在利益和风险上。

“社会希望马来人倡导马来人团结——不仅在巫统内部，而且在马来政党之间。”

“我不想让马来各政党联合起来，但总体而言，马来人希望实现马来人的团结，”他说道。
