KUALA LUMPUR – At the current rate, the growth of PAS’ influence in Malaysia’s political landscape as a leading force seems unstoppable, said a renowned academician in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia.

Due to its strong grassroots for generations, PAS has been able to sustain and regenerate its position among the urban, semi-urban, and rural populations – and it could be flourishing further in the next five years.

“PAS listens to the voices on the ground. Many people are influenced by the religious groups, including their parents who are disillusioned with some national political leaders who have been highly questionable over time,” said Datuk Denison Jayasooria of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia’s (UKM) Institute of Ethnic Studies.
