00:00UMNO is more synonymous with betrayal than PAS, says PAS President Abdul Hadi Awang in response to Ahmad Zayed Hamidi's
00:08remarks that betrayal is in the Islamist Party's DNA.
00:13Rejecting the UMNO president's remarks made last week, Hadi said UMNO previously used the Internal Security Act against PAS even
00:21though both parties had initially intended for it to be used against the communist threat.
00:27PAS leaders were among those detained under the ISA during Operation Lalang in 1987. The law was abolished in 2012.
00:36On May 7, Zayed said UMNO would only consider reviving its cooperation with PAS if it removed betrayal from their
00:44hearts.
00:46He said he had initiated efforts to unite the Malay Muslim community through Muafakat National following the 14th general election
00:53but claimed that PAS ultimately betrayed partnership.
