PPBM-PAS talks hit stalemate, says Guan Eng
| February 3, 2017
DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng
says there are internal problems in PAS which has scuppered the talks.
Lim, who is the DAP
secretary-general, said PPBM deputy president Mukhriz Mahathir’s explanation on
the talks indicated a likely stalemate.
“He (Mukhriz) explained to me about
what happened, but when I saw him, he seemed a bit confused about PAS’ stand on
things,” Lim told reporters during a visit to Kuantan Road here today.
Lim said Mukhriz’s confusion is
understandable, as it was likely caused by disagreement between PAS president
Abdul Hadi Awang and his deputy Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man.
“When I read the BN newspapers
today, I understand the situation better. It appears the president and his
deputy have clashed on the their thoughts on the matter.
“But I am sure he (Mukhriz) will continue with
his discussions,” Lim said.
Asked if the PPBM-PAS talks would
work out, he said: “Best you ask PPBM on this.”
He added that DAP’s stand on PAS
remains the same – there was no space to work with the Islamic party.
“We have given our views as a member
of Pakatan Harapan (on PAS cooperation). We were not told about it before, but
only read about the talks in newspapers,” he said, adding that PPBM and Pakatan
Harapan would hold talks on Feb 7 to clear the air on the matter.

PAS wants to have the cake and eat it also.
PAS is already a spent force and even the Malays are shying away from the party
due to it extreme religious agenda to garner the rural Malay votes to stay
relevant. I think the Malays have enough of PAS and come GE14 it will only be a
byword and nothing else a foot note in history.
