PAS risks loss of support over hunger for power - superadmin - 07-31-2021 PETALING JAYA: An academic has alleged that PAS has changed from being an idealist party to an opportunist one since coming to power and is thereby risking a loss of support. Speaking to FMT, Mohd Azizuddin Sani of Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) said he believed PAS leaders would support whomever they felt would remain in power and would now continue supporting Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin even if the fiasco over the repeal of emergency ordinances was causing restiveness in the party’s grassroots. “PAS is also likely to support Bersatu until the party can no longer serve its purpose of allowing it to be in power,” he said. “If Umno becomes stronger, PAS is likely to switch support to it instead.” He also said MPs from PAS could lose voter support because it was likely that many grassroots members were appalled that their leaders had gone against the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. - More -
