PAS is willing to become the opposition if Perikatan Nasional (PN) failed to secure a simple majority in the general election to form the government, its president Abdul Hadi Awang said.

He added that the party is principled and wants a clean leadership to head the government post-election.

“We are ready to be the opposition. PAS has been in the opposition for decades so it’s not a problem. We don’t want an unclean government. We are principled, we are not a party that drifts,” he told reporters after a party event in Cheng, Malacca, today.

He was commenting on a report about PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan on a potential alliance between PN and Barisan Nasional to form the government after the general election if both coalitions failed to secure a simple majority.
