Malaysia’s PAS will stab Mahathir and Muhyiddin in the back, says Umno official
- Former PMs Mahathir Mohamad and Muhyiddin Yassin ‘will stab PAS’, wrote Umno supreme council member Puad Zarkashi on Facebook
- ‘But PAS will stab them first’, predicted Puad, who also passed comment on the ‘stale narrative’ of two former Umno colleagues
In a Facebook post on Monday, Puas said: “[Mahathir] said Muhyiddin backstabbed him. After this both will stab PAS. But PAS will stab them first.”

A multiracial Malaysia would be unconstitutional, says former PM Mahathir
It was reported on July 5 that Mahathir and Muhyiddin met to discuss the agenda to unite the Malay community.
Khairuddin Abu Hassan, Malay Proclamation secretariat chairman, said the almost two-hour meeting between the two was to ensure the continuity of the struggle to empower the community.
Mahathir also made an appearance at a PAS event last week.
In a separate post, Puad said his former Umno colleagues Noh Omar and Annuar Musa, who are now supporting Perikatan, are still hesitant to praise PAS and Bersatu despite the transition.

“Their stale narrative is ‘No DAP, No Anwar’. But there is no mention of ‘No Bersatu’. All because there is still anger and vengeance,” Puad wrote.
“They are still geli (disgusted) by the thought of complimenting PAS and Bersatu.”
He said these leaders have been campaigning by attacking Umno, when they should instead be riding on the positive aspects of Perikatan.
“When you support the opponent, talk about their strengths. Noh can talk about how good Muhyiddin and PN are. How well Muhyiddin had suspended parliament and managed the movement control order,” he said, adding that Annuar could talk about PAS from the aspect of spirituality.
