PETALING JAYA, June 26 — Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (Muda) president Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman today criticised the allied Pakatan Harapan coalition for reneging on its promises of reforms from last year’s 15th general election.

In a press conference this afternoon, the Muar MP justified his party’s decision to contest independently in the upcoming state elections by saying its allies appeared to have forgotten their election pledges now that they were in power.

“Enough with politics to scare the people, the politics of fear mongering should end. We should not be using fear-mongering tactics to justify incompetence, complacency, and arrogance.

“The reality is that if promises are fulfilled, reforms are implemented, power is returned to the people, and not taking people’s vote lightly, there is no need for Muda to contest,” he said at Muda’s headquarters here.
