KUALA LUMPUR, March 31 — Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia and PAS will maintain their political cooperation through Perikatan Nasional into the 15th general election (GE15), the two parties’ secretaries-general announced today.
The decision will leave nominal ally Umno alone following the Malay nationalist party’s decision to reject Bersatu at the general election.
According to a statement from Bersatu’s Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuiddin and PAS’s Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan, this was decided in a meeting involving the presidents of both parties yesterday.
“Bersatu and PAS reject any formation of a ‘new alignment’ to form the government after GE15, especially involving PH (Pakatan Harapan) and its allies,” the two said.
