Dr Mahathir maintained his sarcasm when asked to comment on the proposed merger between PAS and Umno saying:
“We know that cross-breeding is a difficult science. It's like between a cat and ? shall we say, goat?”
Dr Mahathir added that he was eager to see how PAS would give up its hudud laws to accommodate the mainstream party practice and vice versa.
former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad when asked about PAS' reluctance to from coalition governments with Umno at the state and federal level, said: "I think they are a little bit confused there."
"One day they say they want, next day no, next day they put conditions. So, I think they should clear the cobwebs in their minds and come up with a distinct stand whether they want to work together or not," he told a press a conference at his office at the Petronas Twin Towers here.
He said Umno also cannot rule the country only with PAS as its partner, since it also needs all the other BN component parties as well.
Touching on the muzakarahs (discussions) between Umno and PAS, Dr Mahathir said Umno must not forget its BN component parties and "if there is any negotiation it should involve the other parties."
