PETALING JAYA: PAS and its splinter party Amanah are likely to try and outdo each other by being more conservative to attract rural voters, a socio-political analyst says.
Awang Azman Pawi of Universiti Malaya said that although Amanah says it is progressive, the difference between the two may become blurred as the next general election (GE15) approaches, with both fighting for the same issues and in the same tone.
“They may slip into the same conservative thinking and try to be seen as championing Islamic issues, even if they are not relevant.
Yesterday, Amanah vice-president Mujahid Yusof Rawa said Muslim sensitivities must be looked after in all alcohol-related activities, even when it comes to choosing brand names and symbols.
