Umno challenges Annuar Musa to invite his son to join Pas
KOTA BHARU - Kelantan Umno challenges Tan Sri Annuar Musa to invite his son, who is Ketereh Umno Youth Chief, to join Pas before campaigning to ask others to join the party.
Umno information chief Datuk Zawawi Othman said Annuar will be labelled a failure if his own child is not convinced by his action, let alone other people.
He said the former Ketereh Umno division chief also doesn't need to start a propaganda campaign by simply mentioning the number of Umno members who will join Pas.
"We are familiar with his political game.
"Annuar should have invited his son first before campaigning and attracting others to join Pas.
"As the people of Kelantan say, it's really 'debek' (bad) if the child does not follow the father's footsteps in his struggle," he said in a statement today.
Zawawi said it will be a major action to prove the former Umno secretary-general's sincerity in his struggle.
He added that Kelantan Umno did not rule out the possibility that Annuar had joined the coalition to find a place as a candidate in the next state election.
"Our advice to Pas is to stay alert and be careful with Annuar's move.
"Umno is familiar with his attitude and behaviour. Pas might be enthralled with his mind games later," he said.
On Thursday, it was confirmed that the Muafakat Nasional (MN) president had submitted an application to join Pas.
The former Kereteh MP said he made the decision after considering the national political scenario and also the situation in Umno.
