BERA:
PAS and Umno should avoid insulting or hurling attacks against one another as it is prohibited by Islam, says Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

He reminded the two parties that they used to work together under Muafakat Nasional (MN), but their ties have now become strained.

“We shouldn’t be attacking each other because the ties may be rekindled again in the future. In politics, we are not friends or enemies forever. As such, we should avoid hurting each other’s feelings.

“Who knows, one day we will sit together again for the sake of the Muslim ummah and the Malays in the country. If we make baseless allegations, it will only create animosity between us,” he told reporters after launching the Bera Barisan Nasional (BN) machinery.

Ismail, who is also Umno vice-president, had earlier opened the Bera Umno division annual meeting.
