PAS respects the people’s choice in the recent general election and will take on the role of the opposition in the Pahang assembly, Pahang PAS commissioner Rosli Abdul Jabar said.

“PAS and Perikatan Nasional (PN) will act as a constructive opposition by reprimanding and advising all parties to ensure state governance runs smoothly and is in line with PN’s goal of forming a state that is caring, clean and stable,” he said in a statement on his Facebook page today.

Pahang BN chairman Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail took the oath of office as menteri besar of Pahang for the second term before the Regent of Pahang, Tengku Hassanal Ibrahim Alam Shah Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, at Istana Abu Bakar in Pekan today.

Meanwhile, Pahang Angkatan Muda Harapan chief Young Syefura Othman described the BN-PH coalition, which set aside their differences to jointly form the government in Pahang, as a precedent in the state’s political history for the sake of the people’s well-being and prosperity.

“I welcome this new coalition and hope that it will breathe new life into the state government’s administration,” she said.

Meanwhile, PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man gave an assurance that the party would act as a constructive opposition for the benefit of the people.

“We will also give constructive criticisms. As for our personal relations with BN, we have no problem and respect the stance of each party,” he told reporters in Kelantan. – Bernama, November 28, 2022.
