KUALA LUMPUR: Political stands must be based on political realities, which is why Umno is working with DAP in the unity government despite its earlier stand of 'No DAP', explains Umno deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hassan.

He said that Umno was very much aware of DAP's stand on issues and likewise, DAP understands Umno’s stand."We know who DAP is. Just as we know PKR and Amanah. We made the decision based on the most suitable choice to allow us to manage differences," he said during the opening of the Youth, Wanita and Puteri assemblies on Wednesday night .
He cited past election results as an indication that despite Umno’s criticisms and slams towards DAP, support of the Malays towards Umno did not increase. "This is something that Umno will be unable to do if it joins a government under Perikatan leadership. This is because Umno will be the third fiddle in this partnership," he said.
