Tok Mat: ‘Rumah Bangsa’ should anchor Malay unity, but Umno won’t form new political alliance

Umno is open to fostering Malay unity through sincere and strategic cooperation with Malay parties, irrespective of their political ideologies, emphasized the party's deputy president, Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan, at a party assembly.

He stated that cooperative efforts must align with "Rumah Bangsa," a concept aimed at promoting broader Malay interests, rather than being driven by short-term political gains.

Mohamad reinforced Umno's commitment to Barisan Nasional and highlighted the need for the party to build its own robust support base, using recent electoral successes as a testament to regaining Malay trust, while cautioning against complacency.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 10 — Umno is open to Malay unity at any time, but any such cooperation must be sincere, strategic and anchored by the concept of “Rumah Bangsa”, said party deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan.

Mohamad, better known as Tok Mat, said Umno remained open to working with Malay parties regardless of their political ideology, provided the cooperation was based on a clear understanding of the interests and future of the Malay community.

“Umno is open to Malay unity at any time. We are open to cooperation with all Malay parties, regardless of their ideology,” he said in his speech at the simultaneous opening of the Wanita, Pemuda and Puteri Umno general assemblies here last night.

However, Mohamad said such cooperation must not be driven by seasonal political considerations or short-term gains.

He said Umno’s approach to Malay unity must instead be guided by the concept of “Rumah Bangsa”, which he described as a platform for the broader interests of the Malay community.

He added that the party did not need to establish new political alliances and would remain with Barisan Nasional, while maintaining flexibility in its cooperation with other parties.

Mohamad said that the party’s experience showed that political cooperation could provide short-term benefits, but would not necessarily strengthen Umno’s position in the long term if the party became dependent on others.

“We must build our own strength. We must have our own solid Malay support base,” he said.

Mohamad said Umno’s recent victories in Johor and Negri Sembilan showed that Malay voters could once again place their trust in the party, but warned that the support should not be taken for granted.

He said the party’s priority now was to consolidate that support while remaining open to cooperation that could strengthen Malay unity and political stability.

巫统副主席拿督斯里莫哈末哈山在党代会上强调，巫统愿意通过与马来政党进行真诚和战略合作来促进马来团结，无论他们的政治意识形态如何。

他表示，合作努力必须与“民族之家”的理念相一致，这一理念旨在促进更广泛的马来人利益，而不是受短期政治利益的驱动。

莫哈末重申了巫统对国民阵线的承诺，并强调该党需要建立自己强大的支持基础，利用最近的选举成功来证明其重新赢得了马来人的信任，同时告诫人们不要自满。

吉隆坡，9月10日讯——巫统副主席拿督斯里莫哈末哈山表示，巫统随时都愿意与马来人团结，但任何此类合作都必须是真诚的、具有战略性的，并以“民族之家”的概念为基础。

莫哈末（Mohamad，又名 Tok Mat）表示，巫统始终愿意与马来政党合作，无论其政治意识形态如何，前提是合作必须建立在对马来社群的利益和未来的清晰理解之上。

“巫统随时都愿意维护马来人的团结。我们愿意与所有马来政党合作，无论他们的意识形态如何，”他昨晚在巫统妇女组、青年组和女青年组同时举行的全体大会开幕式上发表讲话时说道。

然而，穆罕默德表示，这种合作不应受季节性政治考量或短期利益的驱动。

他表示，巫统的马来人团结方针必须以“民族之家”的概念为指导，他将其描述为马来社群更广泛利益的平台。

他还表示，该党不需要建立新的政治联盟，将继续留在国民阵线，同时在与其他政党的合作中保持灵活性。

穆罕默德表示，该党的经验表明，政治合作可以带来短期利益，但如果巫统依赖他人，从长远来看，未必能加强巫统的地位。

他说：“我们必须增强自身实力，我们必须拥有坚实的马来人支持基础。”

莫哈末表示，巫统最近在柔佛州和森美兰州的胜利表明，马来选民可以再次信任该党，但他警告说，这种支持不应被视为理所当然。

他表示，该党目前的首要任务是巩固这种支持，同时保持开放态度，寻求能够加强马来团结和政治稳定的合作。
