KOTA BARU – PAS is still open to the idea of forming a coalition with any political party to face the upcoming 15th general election (GE15), said its secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan.

“For me after the dissolution of Parliament… anything can happen, coalitions can be established until the nomination day,” he said at a media conference after launching the KetSA Carnival @ Kota Bharu Prihatin hosted by the Energy and Natural Resources Ministry here today.

When asked by reporters, Kota Baru MP Takiyuddin denied the allegation that PAS’ decision to strengthen cooperation with Perikatan Nasional (PN) means that the party rejects Muafakat Nasional (MN).

“The statement refers to the decision to strengthen cooperation with PN… but can you find anything in the statement that says we (PAS) want to sever our relationship with MN?” he asked. 

On the statement made by Bersatu president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin that the party was ready to consider the idea of cooperating with the fledgling party Pejuang in GE15, Takiyuddin said PAS was not informed on the matter.

“I don’t know if the matter is true or not, if it is true then we don’t know about it.

“Being in a family, if we want to do something, we discuss it. For example, when PAS wanted to discuss with Umno, we told Bersatu about it officially,” he added. – Bernama, October 14, 2022
