Zahid assures Umno-PAS pact not about racial politics

  • 5 years ago
Despite some participants in attendance at the Perhimpunan Penyatuan Ummah today saying they were there to support the unity of the Malay-Muslim community, Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said Umno and PAS should not get trapped into "narrow racial politics".

Zahid's assurances against racial politics come after several other Umno leaders also did the same yesterday.

Umno senator Khairul Azwan Harun yesterday said it was still premature to conclude that the alliance would lead to more racial politics.

Johor Umno Youth chief Mohd Hairi Mad Shah had also urged non-Muslims not to fear the alliance.
