PAS growing unpopular even among Muslims, says analyst

PETALING JAYA: A political analyst believes that Umno should not partner with PAS as the Islamic party is starting to grow unpopular, even among Malays and Muslims.

Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia’s Agus Yusoff said PAS was perceived as always thinking it was right, while the use of Quranic verses (dalil) according to its own needs has put off Malays.

“The people are seeing for themselves how PAS is riding on religion, performing poorly in governing certain states, how its leaders speak with no clear direction, and its ministers are incompetent.

“The people do not see PAS leaving behind anything of value in its struggle,” he told FMT.
