Just Join Unity Govt At Least You Can Get Dpm Post Maszlee Tells Pas

PAS would be better off joining the coalition government instead of sticking with Perikatan Nasional, said PKR central leadership member Maszlee Malik.
He said the Islamist party clearly has no confidence in PN chairperson Muhyiddin Yassin and opposition chief Hamzah Zainudin.
This was based on PAS spiritual leader Hashim Jasin’s latest statement, where he reportedly said PAS has many capable leaders to be a prime minister but would only name their candidate after getting into power.
“This kind of political coalition is fragile because they lack confidence in their own leaders.
ADS“PAS should be with the unity government to strengthen the current Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim for the sake of the rakyat, country and world community.
“If they join the unity government, at least PAS has a better chance to get a deputy prime minister seat, which would help to spur the country’s development,” Maszlee (above) told Malaysiakini.
Power first
The former education minister was asked to respond to Hashim, who was quoted by Malay daily Utusan Malaysia this morning as saying PN should be given the mandate to lead Malaysia first before announcing their prime minister candidate.
Pointing to the era of former PAS spiritual leader Nik Aziz Nik Mat as Kelantan menteri besar between 1990 and 2013, he said ulama have also been proven to be capable as a state leader.
PAS spiritual leader Hashim Jasin“Professionals are not the only ones who are eligible for nomination, because ulama also have the quality to be a good state leader.
“The same is with the situation now, while we have yet to see who will be the ‘poster boy’, but give us the mandate first, then we will name our candidate, and we will lead the country better than the current government,” Hashim reportedly said.
PKR secretary-general Fuziah Salleh was unfazed by Hashim’s statement.
Instead, she dared the opposition to call for a no-confidence vote against Anwar.
“Try to call for a no-confidence vote in Parliament first,” Fuziah said in a brief text message. - Mkini
