from Malaysiakini · host Malaysiakini
[KiniNews] PAS is confident that its political relevance can outlive Umno by far.This was the response of its information chief, Ahmad Fadhli Shaari, to Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's wish to see PAS dissolve on its own."I am not praying for Umno to be dissolved - because Umno still has its own role and distinct strength, and there are contributions from Umno that are still needed. But when compared with PAS, I believe and am very confident that PAS’ political lifespan will be far longer than Umno's, insya-Allah," said Fadhli.Meanwhile, in a separate story, a PAS leader has cautioned against elevating Terengganu Menteri Besar Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar to the position of Perikatan Nasional chairperson, warning that the move could cost the Islamist party dozens of parliamentary seats.Sungai Buloh PAS chief Zaharudin Muhammad said internal data and analyses suggested the party could lose as many as 37 parliamentary seats if Samsuri were to replace Muhyiddin Yassin as PN chairperson at this stage._________________📌 Share this news!
