Kelantan Umno Has No Problem With Perkasa - Awang

BACHOK, Sept 16 (Bernama) -- Kelantan Umno has no problem with Pribumi Perkasa (Perkasa) as most of its members are from Umno.

Liaison deputy chairman Datuk Dr Awang Adek Hussin said Umno differed from Perkasa which fought for Malay interests as some were unacceptable to the party.

"Umno has a bigger responsibility to look after the interest of all races," he said at an Aidilfitri function and formation of Bachok Graduates' Associations in Tangok Thursday.

Awang who is also Deputy Finance Minister said Perkasa was like other non-governmental organisations (NGO) that had good ties with Umno.

"In Bachok, almost all Perkasa members are from Umno and some are holding important posts in the NGO," he added.

He said Kelantanese and Umno members should understand that the party believed in moderation and should be wary of manipulation by the opposition.
