You have no right to issue ultimatum to Umno, Tuan Ibrahim tells PKR

PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man has criticized PKR for issuing an ultimatum to Umno regarding its role in the unity government. He argued that PKR lacks the parliamentary strength to dictate terms to Umno and called for mutual respect between coalition partners.
Why it matters
Reflects the ongoing political instability and power dynamics within Malaysia's current governing coalition.
PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said in political cooperation, each party should respect the positions of other parties.
KOTA BHARU: PKR should not issue an ultimatum to Umno over whether it wants to remain in the unity government or switch its support to Perikatan Nasional (PN), as the party itself relies on Umno’s strength, says PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man.
He said PKR should be mindful of its position and the number of parliamentary and state seats it holds compared with Umno before issuing warning-like statements to its partner in government.
“PKR wants to warn Umno, but how many seats does it have? Umno has more seats than PKR. PKR should not act that way. It relies on Umno, on Umno’s strength,” he told reporters at PAS’s muktamar here last night.
