KUALA LUMPUR – PAS has suggested that all its allies willing to work with the Islamist party for the Melaka election contest under the umbrella of its logo: a white moon on a green background.

In a Facebook post today, its deputy president, Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man, made the cynical proposal, seeing that Umno-led Barisan Nasional (BN) will be cooperating with them but might contest against PAS’ Perikatan Nasional (PN) ally Bersatu.

“Since all parties have agreed to cooperate with PAS, it’s best that we use one logo, which is the PAS logo in the Melaka election. Think about it,” said Tuan Ibrahim.

Yesterday, Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan had said that its Supreme Council agreed that the cooperation with PAS is in line with Umno’s aim to consolidate the Muafakat Nasional pact, which was decided on in its 2020 Umno General Assembly.

The decision, he said, was made during a meeting chaired by Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

However, he said, PAS will use its own party logo in the upcoming polls.

“The basis of the cooperation with PAS is guided by the principle that PAS will use its own party symbol in line with the spirit and resolutions made by the Muafakat Nasional consultative committee on October 19 and November 18 last year,” Ahmad had said in a statement.

“This is to avoid clashes with each other and, at the same time, maintain the use of our respective party logos in the election.” – The Vibes, October 29, 2021
