MIGHT AS WELL ‘RM90MIL’ HADI DECLARE NAJIB GE14 WINNER: ALREADY AN
OBJECT OF RIDICULE, ARROGANT PAS NOW CHEESES OFF OWN SUPPORTERS BY REFUSING TO
NEGOTIATE SEATS WITH HARAPAN
PAS’ call for other opposition parties to step aside in elections so that it can challenge Umno in a straight fight is arrogant and could backfire, its Pokok Sena MP Mahfuz Omar reportedly warned.
He said such statements could alienate its supporters.

“Such statements do not inspire confidence toward PAS, and instead distances PAS from voters who are not PAS members.
“Hardcore PAS members may be relish (with such statements), but remember PAS’ victory does not depend on the votes and support of PAS members alone,” Sinar Harian quoted him as saying.
Mahfuz was responding to PAS Ulama information chief Mohd Khairuddin Aman Razali’s Facebook post that was published on Saturday.
The latter reiterated yesterday that PAS is planning to contest in 80 traditional Malay parliamentary seats against Umno, and Pakatan Harapan parties, and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) should stay out of it.
“Then there would be straight fights. But is Amanah prepared not to contest? Is PKR and DAP prepared to step aside for Amanah without touching on seats traditionally contested by PAS during the 13th [sic] general election?” he had posted.
Mahfuz said Khairuddin’s statement gives the impression that PAS is eager to fight in the next general election.
“PAS should negotiate (with Pakatan Harapan). Even when we contested less than 80 seats, we didn’t win,” he said.
PAS vice-president Idris Ahmad had previously said that PAS is planning to contest in 80 parliamentary seats in the 14th general election, and had not ruled out contesting in seats traditionally contested by its former allies PKR and DAP.
However, the plan had not yet been finalised.
During the 13th general election, PAS won only 21 of the 73 parliamentary seats contested, and 85 of the 237 seats contested.
