PAS decided not to work with Barisan Nasional (BN) in the general election because the coalition was tainted with corruption, said party president Abdul Hadi Awang.

He said Umno was still lax about enforcing Islam in the country and that it was too focused on power to the point that the party was demanding elections now.

“Because the coalition is still tainted we decided to stop working with it. We decided to reject those who give and take bribes and work with Perikatan Nasional (PN) instead even though it will be tough,” he said in a sermon in Marang.

Hadi yesterday announced yesterday that PAS would not be working with Umno in the polls.

PN chairman Muhyiddin Yassin has said that Umno’s refusal to cooperate with PAS would prove to be a boon, allowing the coalition to win more seats.

Muhyiddin said his party Bersatu continued to enjoy a strong relationship with PAS as founding members of PN.

Earlier this month,  Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said PAS must cut ties with Bersatu and PN if it wishes to work with his party.

The Islamist party is now expected to go head to head with Umno in 27 parliamentary seats, potentially splitting the Malay vote to benefit Pakatan Harapan. – October 14, 2022.

  • Hadi is such a versatile politician, ever changing his arguments to suit the situation, and convincing his audience even with his inconsistent stand. Thats a rare gift of lying between the teeth and he is certainly a master at that. Tabik!!!
