The influential Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah has echoed PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang’s calls for a unity government to tackle the ailing economy and ensure political stability.
Razaleigh is the first leader to come out in support of Abdul Hadi’s statement, which had again renewed speculations that PAS was again warming up to Umno after clandestine talks between the two parties broke down last year.
“There is a real danger of our falling into a long-term loop of decline, with job losses, crime, social conflict, institutional breakdown and political instability feeding upon each other.
“Our problems are fundamental, and must be faced immediately. But BN cannot do this alone,” said Razaleigh in his latest blog posting today, in response to Abdul Hadi’s interview with The Malaysian Insider yesterday.
In his blog, Razaleigh argued his case for a unity-government chiefly, because he believes that Barisan Nasional is imploding and seeking to hang on to power through undemocratic means.

If PAS 'unites' with Umno, then the 'union' is like a marriage between a holy man and a prostitute. Well, perhaps the marriage will work if the prostitute repents. ;=)
In the meantime, Rafidah brushes aside Pas's call for unity government.
