More Youth divisions are expected to follow suit, if what PAS leaders have said is anything to go by

PETALING JAYA: The Kuala Selangor, Subang, Serdang and Pandan divisions of PAS Youth have unanimously agreed to pass a motion that will mark the end of the Islamist party’s ties with PKR.

This follows the passing of the same motion in Tumpat (Kelantan), Permatang Pauh and Bayan Baru (Penang).

Kuala Selangor PAS Youth chief Ahmad Hakimi Othman said the decision was made after three incidents that marred the relationship between the two parties in Selangor.

“The first was when PKR’s Malay-Muslim leaders chose to take a cynical view of our efforts to strengthen the shariah courts and ignore our explanations,” he said in a statement today.

“Secondly, in the Sungai Besar by-election, PKR clearly betrayed the terms of the political cooperation with PAS as outlined by the syura council.

“Thirdly, the state government’s water issues and its unresolved altercation with SPLASH have dragged PAS into a crisis of public confidence.”

PAS vice-president Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah recently said the final decision on whether to part ways with PKR would be made at the party’s 63rd Muktamar on April 29 in Kota Sarang Semut, Kedah.

If the motion is accepted and passed by the ulama council, a multi-cornered election battle or a migration of PAS voters to Umno is expected.

Several PAS Youth divisions are expected to follow Kuala Selangor in voting to break up with PKR, if what PAS leaders have told FMT is anything to go by.

Hulu Langat PAS Youth division chief Zurk Ahmad said the breakup with PKR was something the party youth was looking forward to, a sentiment echoed by the Selangor PAS Youth chief.

Muhammad Hanif Jamaluddin, who heads the Kuala Langat Youth wing, said the same and expressed regret that Selangor Menteri Besar Mohamed Azmin Ali had insulted PAS Youth chief Nik Abduh Nik Abdul Aziz.

In a tweet this week, Azmin poked fun at Nik Abduh’s massive defeat at the Pengkalan Chepa PAS divisional election, in which he challenged incumbent Izani Husin for the division’s deputy head post.

Hanif said, “The situation really shows how PKR leaders do not respect the spirit of comradeship in the political cooperation (with PAS).

“We are ready to move all our machinery to ensure victory in all areas in Selangor.”

Selangor PAS secretary Khairuddin Othman said although the views of the party youth must be taken into account, they did not represent the party.

“We have to understand that this is a motion from the youth wing. The youth are aggressive and we have to let them speak. But the decision will be made during the muktamar.

“We also have to understand that the motion was passed by only four out of 22 divisions in Selangor.

“However, we have to take into account our members’ views,” he said when contacted by FMT for comment.

Although the call for PAS to part ways with PKR appeared to be gaining momentum within the Islamist party, Khairuddin said the relationship between Selangor PAS and Selangor PKR remained unchanged.

“Selangor PAS’ political cooperation with PKR still stands and we are still a part of the state government.

“There is no problem with our relationship with the state government so other parties do not need to panic.”

The Selangor government is led by PKR with PAS, DAP and Amanah, according to the terms of the agreement drawn up between the opposition parties in the 12th general election.

However, Nik Abduh recently confirmed that PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang had plans to take over Selangor in the next general election.
