Umno supreme council member Mohd Razlan Rafii has lauded PAS' refusal to cooperate with his party as it meant Umno can make fewer compromises.

In a recent interview with Malaysiakini, Razlan pointed out a stable government cannot be built on compromises and political chess manoeuvrers.

Citing the previous administrations as examples, he said several PAS leaders had to be given government positions even if they were not qualified.
