PETALING JAYA:

PAS treasurer Iskandar Abdul Samad says cooperation between PAS, Pejuang, Berjasa and the Reset movement, should it eventually become a political party, could provide the “most stable platform” to advance the Malay-Muslim agenda.

In a Facebook post, Iskandar said while the groups needed to work towards a common goal, efforts to bring them together would face resistance.

“Efforts to unite them will likely be sabotaged,” he said.

Iskandar’s remarks came amid growing attention surrounding Reset, a movement linked to former Bersatu deputy president and Larut MP Hamzah Zainudin following his expulsion from the party in February.

On Tuesday, Indera Mahkota MP Saifuddin Abdullah said the movement aimed to serve as a bridge connecting political parties with civil society, professionals and academics.

Saifuddin said Reset, built around Hamzah’s idea of a “new national consensus”, sought to establish a fresh political platform promoting inclusive policies beyond traditional party lines, and uniting Malaysians of all races, cultures and religions, while proposing reforms involving governance, the judiciary and key national institutions.

Hamzah launched Reset shortly after he was sacked by Bersatu on Feb 14 amid a leadership clash with party president Muhyiddin Yassin.

Several other former Bersatu leaders, including Saifuddin, Wan Saiful Wan Jan and Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal, have since joined the movement.

Reset is also believed to have support from several Bersatu leaders still in the party, including suspended vice-president Ronald Kiandee and Wanita chief Mas Ermieyati Samsudin. - FMT
