(Bernama) - Agriculture and Agro-based Industry minister Datuk Seri Noh Omar said the sparking of a movement to defend Islam, the rights of the Malays and the Monarchy by former Selangor PAS commissioner Datuk Dr Hasan Mohamed Ali, has had a positive impact on the unity of the Malay people.
Dr Hasan's struggle is similar to UMNO's, which also fought for the same concepts from the beginning, he said after officiating at the Parent Teachers Association of Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Sungai Burong here, today.
However, UMNO also protects the rights of other races, as enshrined in the Federal Constitution, said Noh.
He said Dr Hasan's road show after being sacked by PAS has managed to attract a part of the community, especially the Malays, to listen to his explanation on Pakatan Rakyat's weaknesses and fragmentation in leadership.
Noh added that in addition to Dr Hasan's revelations about the opposition, former Parti Keadilan Rakyat and Kulim Bandar Baru member of parliament Datuk Zulkifli Nordin was also doing the same, to raise people's awareness of the situation.
