SHAH ALAM – Discussions on whether PAS will be working with Umno in the Johor election will only be held after the state assembly has been dissolved, said PAS deputy president Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man.

“We will wait and see if the state election is on (and after that) we will hold discussions with Umno.

“I think that as the people are still in the midst of difficulties (due to the floods and so forth), we should downplay politics. However, it is up to the Johor government. If we do have to face a state election, the respective parties are ready. PAS is also prepared,” he told reporters after officiating the first anniversary celebration of the Malaysian Recycling Alliance here today.

He said this when asked to comment if there would be cooperation between PAS and Umno should the Johor election be held.

Tuan Ibrahim said the party is not keen on too many elections being held at different times as the people would eventually be caught up in the political frenzy. 

On Muafakat Nasional, Tuan Ibrahim said the alliance still remains and no party has declared the dissolution of the cooperation. – Bernama, January 21, 2022
