KOTA KINABALU, March 29 – Pakatan Rakyat (PR) should prove to the people that it can unite before it even dreams of setting up a government, said Sabah Umno liaison secretary Datuk Seri Yahya Hussin. He said looking at developments in PR, the Opposition pact had failed to be united, even at the party level, and if it won the general election, the question would be whether the PR was capable of forming a united government.
“How can the Opposition take over the government and unite the people, and show that it can become a strong government when the parties within it are bickering, with the DAP saying it does not want PAS in PR,” he told reporters here today. He added that the people should look at the PR leaders in making up their minds which parties were the best and capable of forming the government.
“PR is not like the Barisan Nasional (BN), but PAS, DAP and PKR each have their own agendas even though they are in one coalition,” Yahya, who is also Sabah Deputy Chief Minister and state Agriculture and Food Industry Minister, said. Additionally, he said Umno and BN leaders and members should look at the situation as a chance for them to strengthen Umno and BN.
