A senior Pakatan Harapan leader has underscored Umno’s crucial role in the unity government.
He highlighted its contribution to political stability and effective administration.
PH secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail shared these views with reporters in Rawang today.
Umno’s Strength in Government
Saifuddin noted that Umno is the largest Malay-based party in the government.
It holds 30 parliamentary seats and eight full ministerial posts.
This underscores Umno’s significant influence within the unity government.
Current political stability stands in sharp contrast to the previous term.
That period saw three prime ministers in five years.
The present government has maintained one prime minister for nearly three years.
Benefits of Steady Leadership
This stability allows focus on reform agendas and economic growth.
It promotes more orderly governance.
Positive economic indicators reflect the nation’s progress.
Saifuddin welcomed Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s announcement to cap the prime minister’s tenure at 10 years.
The move signals leadership rooted in accountability and responsibility.
It provides ample time to implement policies and reforms.
Confidence in Unity Government
Saifuddin expressed full trust in Umno’s leadership within the current political landscape.
He emphasised that the unity government remains united and stable.
It continues to function effectively.
Umno Youth’s Firm Stance
Last Saturday, Umno Youth chief Dr Muhamad Akmal Salleh addressed the wing’s special convention in Kuala Lumpur.
He stated that Umno Youth rejects any attempts to seize power.
Such efforts include backdoor manoeuvres that could destabilise the government.
