PAS struggling to hold on to political brand in Perikatan, says DAP’s Chin Tong

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 8 — PAS is facing a brand identity crisis in its political alliance with Bersatu in their Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition, according to DAP strategist Liew Chin Tong.

The Opposition politician said the conservative Islamist party is struggling to uphold its brand of religious politics as it has to contend with the dynamics of PN, handle its position in government and also prepare to face off with Umno again in GE15.

“Being in the federal government means the party cannot burn the house down by championing racial and religious issues in a fiery tone but has to deal with legal constraints, problem solving, and managing daily affairs, none of which are PAS’ strength.
