PAS will not join Gerakan Tanah Air (GTA), party secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan said.

He said the establishment of GTA would not affect PAS as the coalition comprises non-dominant parties.

GTA is made up of Pejuang, Parti Perikatan India Muslim Nasional, Parti Barisan Jemaah Islamiah Se-Malaysia and Parti Bumiputera Perkasa Malaysia.

“In fact, for the sake of stability, I would like to urge GTA to team up with other parties that champion the people’s interests, as disunity will not benefit the rakyat,” he told reporters after opening the annual general meeting of SMK Sultan Ismail’s Parent-Teacher Association in Kota Baru today.

PAS is a member of Perikatan Nasional, which includes Bersatu, Gerakan, Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku and Sabah Progressive Party.

Last Thursday, Pejuang chairman Dr Mahathir Mohamad announced the formation of GTA, a coalition aimed at strengthening the Malays, especially in the economic field. – Bernama, August 9, 2022.
