SIBU: Veteran Umno MP Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah's exhortation to party members to get ready for a snap general election is just a "desperate" move to get Umno and PAS members to unite, says DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang (pic). "But I don't think (Umno-PAS unity) will happen so long as Umno has its 'Malu apa, bossku' campaign associated with Najib's kleptocracy. "PAS has its moral high ground while Umno is responsible for telling lies and responsible for other immoral activities like corruption. According to Lim, a snap election was not in the works as the Pakatan Harapan government still had a lot of work to do in implementing the New Malaysia. There is the implementation of the New Malaysia, in particular the return of autonomy of Sabah and Sarawak as enshrined in MA63.
