ALL of PAS’ moves and decisions are aimed at “stopping DAP”, Nik Abduh Nik Abdul Aziz said, adding that the Islamist party could even work with Umno as well as ruling party Bersatu.
His anti-DAP stance, posted on his Facebook page, was aimed at upholding the sovereignty of Islam, he said.
“Whatever move made by PAS, it is to stop DAP. It is about the sovereignty of Islam.
“If PAS, Umno and Bersatu were to work together, what’s the issue?” the PAS central committee member said on his Facebook page.
Bersatu, a Malay party, recently accepted ex-Umno MPs into the party in a bid to shore up the number of its seats in the Dewan Rakyat. It now has 22 seats.
Nik Abduh’s message came amid confusion over what really transpired in a recent meeting between Dr Mahathir, PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang, PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan and Terengganu Menteri Besar Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar.
It also came amid rumours of a vote of no-confidence in the Dewan Rakyat to be taken against Dr Mahathir, who chairs Bersatu and is also Pakatan Harapan chairman, by the coalition’s component parties.
This, however, has been denied by DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng and PKR president Anwar Ibrahim.
After his meeting with the PAS leaders, Dr Mahathir said the Islamist party had signed a written agreement not to support Umno in the March 2 Semenyih by-election.
But PAS has denied this, saying instead that the agreement was for PAS MPs to support Dr Mahathir in the event that a vote of no-confidence is taken against him.
Lim and Anwar, who denied any talk of a vote of no-confidence against Dr Mahathir, said that PAS is instead trying to distract attention from claims that it had received RM90 million from Umno.
PAS and Umno had been cooperating in recent by-elections and, since GE14, had expressed that they would work with each other in the interest of Muslims and Islam. – February 19, 2019.
