Not doing that again: PAS spiritual leader says party won’t join unity government over DAP, Anwar
PAS will not work with former ally DAP again, the party’s spiritual leader Datuk Hashim Jasin said to reject a purported invitation for the Islamist party to join the national unity government.
(MMO) – According to PAS mouthpiece HarakahDaily, he called DAP untrustworthy and likely to harbour hidden agendas in any political partnership.
PAS and DAP had partnered with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s PKR to form Pakatan Rakyat after the 2008 general election, but the informal pact collapsed in 2015 when the Islamist party was effectively expelled for reviving its plan to introduce hudud, the Islamic penal code, in Malaysia.
“PAS will not accept invitations from certain parties, including Umno, to join and be part of a political agreement that includes DAP,” he was quoted as saying.
