Forget about Kelantan, Zam tells Umno
Barisan Nasional, especially Umno, should stop trying to wrest Kelantan after the people are adamant in their decision to go along with PAS for the fifth time, former information minister Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin said today.
He said it was time for Umno to realise that the time and money poured into efforts to take over the state were an exercise in futility. He said the money poured into the political struggle in Kelantan had caused more bickering among Umno leaders in the state.
However, the BN’s defeat in Kelantan should not be an obstacle to continued development in the state if there is close cooperation between the Kelantan PAS government and the federal government, he said.
“PAS’ victory in several states and non-Malays areas also shows that the party can be rational when under political pressure to continue to be in power.
“This general election also shows that PAS is willing to move away from its fanatic policies and be rational in the reality of Malaysian politics,” he told Bernama here.
Zainuddin said he believed that efforts to help the people of Kelantan would not be in vain because they they were a hardworking people who were always on the lookout for business opportunities.
“I believe that the Kelantan government will also change its attitude and be more open if faced with a friendly federal government,’ he said.

Mave,
Impressive take & spot on!
Thats what Umno been trying to do for these past 5 days...
With MCA, MIC, Gerakan, PPP - all rendered worthless.
Just Imagine :
UMNO + PAS... Take back Kedah, Perak, Selangor & 2/3 Majority.
Jeez, VERY SPOOKY... VERY SCARY!!!
anybody who wants to listen to this zam joker ..must be an idiot.
He should just go home and tend to his garden..like plant some ubi kayu..etc.
100 % yes. Ayah Ziz and his Central Committee must not repeat the mistake of the late Dato Asri and this time around should not be taken for a BN ride.
Tha downfall of PAS after pulling out of BN should be a grim reminder of their dirty tactics to regain Malay voters confidence by hitch hiking on the PAS wagon.
Please, please, ZAM is not relevant at all. BERNAMA, forget ZAM he is no more your minister and not even an elected member. Why BERNAMA still want to publish his stupid idea. ZAM ,stop talking,period.
Zainuddin Maidin, who the hell is he? Never heard of him.
Some has-been, full of his own importance, I suppose!
举剑、拆印度庙、安华效应帮替政得到江山，请珍惜。
How low can a person stoop. Now that you have to hold up your pants cause you don't even own a belt, you think that your brilliant idea of UMNO working in cahoots with PAS is your original brainchild?? Hey, friend, that's the only way out for UMNO and everybody knows it. Tok Guru is shaking his head in disgust.
wow.... zam knows what is futility? tat's impressive
Forget about politics, CK tells ZAM.
Tau pun dia byk duit habis utk tarik undi rakyat kelantan. You think money can buy us? Well, only a few...
We love TGNA and we love the way we are now...
Artchan & Mindful Mariner,
Actually, Zam is right. We have to give credit where credit is due.
CK Tan,
Zam has still many good years to contribute; he wasn't that bad; he had to do what was needed by the system; that's what Anwar did too.
Terang Bulan,
Money did buy; money is still decisive in winning many seats in Kelantan and else where including Sarawak (e.g. sarikei)
