KEPALA BATAS, Dec 25 (Bernama) -- Forty-two PAS members in Bakau Tua here
quit the party today to join Umno.
Their spokesman, Muhamad Subhi Yakcob, 50, said they were disappointed with
PAS because while collaborating with DAP in Penang, PAS was seen to have lost
its direction and had done nothing significant for the people in the state,
except to become a loyal follower of DAP.
"Hence, in the name of Islam and the country, we decided to quit the party
and rest our hope on Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN)," he told reporters after
submitting their Umno membership application forms to Penaga assemblyman Datuk
Azhar Ibrahim.
Present was Kepala Batas Umno Youth chief Datuk Seri Reezal Merican Naina
Merican who also said that the new development would definitely strengthen the
BN''s election machinery in Penang in view of the upcoming 13th general election.
"The opposition party members in Penang have finally opened their eyes and
saw the political reality. Now, more and more of them are joining Umno to win
back the state," said Reezal Merican who is also Umno Youth Information chief.
