Husam wants to be always on top

Pas deputy president aspirant Datuk Husam Musa said it is too late for his rival Nasharuddin Mat Isa to deny that the party has no plans to join Umno. "It's too late to deny it... I am part of the party top leadership so I know what really happened behind the scenes. The truth will come out sooner or later," he told reporters after the opening of the 55th Pas Muktamar at the Melawati Stadium in Shah Alam.

Husam, who is going for broke, stressed that Pas must be an alternate party to arch-rival Umno.

In referring to the Pakatan Rakyat's plan to form the federal government, the Kelantan senior exco pointed out that a prime minister could come from Pas.

"The PM should be from Pas but if you team up with Umno, you'll be a Minister in PM’s Department. I won't be satisfied because my boss will be under Umno," he said.

He stressed there will not be any co-operation with Umno to jointly govern the country.
"If Pas works with Umno, we will become a lackney. Umno will remain the dominant party, and that's the end for Pas. If Umno lost the elections later and they want to work with us, its okay, provided Pas on top and Umno below. If Umno on top and Pas below, finished," he said.
