“PN is bigger than PAS,” says netizens on ‘green wave’

[superadmin]

THE issue of the green wave in Malaysia continues to interest analysts and netizens, but in a tweet, users poke fun at the reasons they believe the Parti Islam Se-Malaysia cannot leave the Perikatan Nasional (PN) alliance.

The question arose in the aftermath of the defection of Bersatu Sabah members to the Gerakan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) today, which resulted in the collapse of Bersatu in the state.

While the Bersatu party in Peninsula Malaysia insists on remaining in Sabah and rebuilding the party’s base there, netizens are more concerned about the PAS’s relationship with the PN.|

PAS leader Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang had on the night of the elections on Nov 19 jumped the gun in a press conference late in the night, saying the PN had the numbers and had won the elections.

He also said the coalition will be seeing the King of Malaysia form a new government the next day (Nov 20).

This did not happen and with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim gaining support from many factions in the Parliament, it left the PN as the sole opposition grouping.

Nevertheless, Twitter users are suggesting that PAS should also leave the PN to pursue its ‘green wave’. But not everyone agrees that PAS can survive alone.
