SHAH ALAM – Pas information chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari has suggested that the idea of ummah unity could once again become a reality in the Melaka state election.
The Pasir Mas MP said recent political developments in Melaka had opened up an opportunity to revive the idea.
“Melaka has called. Ummah unity will once again become a reality. Insya-Allah, PH (Pakatan Harapan) will face another defeat,” he said in a Facebook post on Tuesday.
Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh was previously reported to have announced the dissolution of the Melaka Legislative Assembly (DUN), effective Wednesday, paving the way for the state election.
The Tanjung Bidara assemblyman said he had met with Melaka Yang di-Pertua Negeri Tun Dr Mohd Ali Mohd Rustam to brief him on the status of the state assembly and seek his consent for its dissolution.
He said the Yang di-Pertua Negeri had consented to the dissolution, effective tomorrow.
Ahmad Fadhli had previously described ummah unity as an important approach for facing elections, while claiming that such cooperation could challenge PH.
On May 31, he also said PAS and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) should contest separately in the next election, citing what he described as increasingly difficult ties between the two parties.
