Federal power ‘a daydream’ for PAS without non-Malay votes, says analyst - superadmin - 02-01-2024 PETALING JAYA: An analyst has urged PAS not to get carried away by its success in capturing the Malay vote, saying the Islamic party should instead reflect on how its lack of support from non-Malays is keeping it from its goal of capturing Putrajaya. Speaking to FMT, Azmi Hassan of Akademi Nusantara acknowledged that PAS leads the state governments in Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah and Perlis. However, he said the party’s main goal should be to win power at the federal level. Without the support of the non-Malays, including those in Sabah and Sarawak, he said, any hope PAS had of governing the country might remain a “daydream”. “Perikatan Nasional (PN) is in a bad state (due to non-Malay support), even worse than Umno,” he said. - More -
