Husam Meddling Pas Must Accept God S Will It Failed To Form Gov T

---

PAS must accept God's will that it did not succeed in forming the federal government in the last general election, according to Kelantan Pakatan Harapan chairperson Husam Musa
Therefore, he said PAS should not cause trouble for the current government
“My advice to PAS is to repent. It was God's will that PAS was unsuccessful in forming the government. So accept God's will. No need to 'kacau' (disturb) until the next election,” he added
Prior to the last general election, PAS had severed ties with its former allies PKR and DAP in the now defunct Pakatan Rakyat

PAS splinter party Amanah subsequently joined hands with PKR and DAP to form Pakatan Harapan. Husam is an Amanah vice-president
In the 2018 polls, which witnessed Harapan routing BN after six decades in power, PAS had contested in 155 out of the 222 parliament seats
Husam was commenting on PAS' plan to table a vote of confidence for Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad to serve until his term expires and claims that MPs from both sides of the political divide are inking a statutory declration (SD) in support of the 94-year-old leader
He pointed out that Harapan was the first to have confidence in Mahathir's leadership before PAS and Umno entered the frame
“But now you (PAS and Umno) are rushing to give a vote of confidence to Mahathir... This is what people call 'pelik' (bizarre),” he told Malaysiakini
Furthermore, Husam said Mahathir and his designated successor, PKR president Anwar Ibrahim, have laid the foundation for the transition process
“So there is no need for outsiders to intervene,” he added
The Harapan presidential council is expected to address the transition issue during its meeting tomorrow
Yesterday, Malaysiakini reported that the top six leaders would meet ahead of the presidential council to iron out the details
The six are Harapan chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad, PKR president Anwar Ibrahim, Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin, Amanah president Mohamad Sabu, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng and the coalition's president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail
Prior to this, Mahathir said he would step down after the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) summit in Kuala Lumpur in November
In a related development, Selangor PKR Youth said the presidential council must set a specific date for the transition to take place
Its communications director Mohd Khairool Ngadon said this was one of the decisions reached during the wing's meeting
“Anwar and the presidential council are capable of setting a date in light of the efforts by certain quarters to create an unpredictable political situation,” he added in a statement
Last week, Anwar met Mahathir in his office in Putrajaya in the wake of Sarawak Report claiming that MPs are signing a SD in support of the prime minister
In a media statement issued later, the PKR president confirmed the existence of a plot to keep Mahathir in power but said the latter was not involved
Sarawak Report alleged that apart from Umno, PAS, Bersatu MPs, those in the faction of Anwar's estranged number two in PKR, Azmin Ali, had also signed the document. - Mkini
