WANITA UMNO ASSEMBLY A Kelantan Wanita Umno delegate has proposed that the party work towards unity with PAS and not merely be limited to having discussions or meetings.

Zaleha Husin, from Kubang Kerian, said recently there had been talk of PAS being willing to meet with Umno.

“However, I propose that PAS and Umno unite. This will be for the betterment of Malay unity and also Islam,” she said.

“If we do not unite, it is not impossible that the country where the Malays and Muslims are the majority will be swallowed by others,” she warned.

She said what Umno has implemented is already Islamic as compared to what had been harped on by its rival PAS.

Pointing to Islamic banks, which Zaleha said had been pioneered by an Umno-led government, the party had proven its Islamic credentials compared with PAS.

Despite the differences, she said unity between Umno and PAS would be for the betterment of the Malays.
