KUALA LUMPUR:

PAS will decide on its relationship with Bersatu within Perikatan Nasional at a central working committee meeting tomorrow night, says party president Abdul Hadi Awang.

“It will be tomorrow, God willing, Monday. We will have a meeting at night,” Hadi told reporters after the launch of a book on the Iran-Israel war at the Kuala Lumpur International Book Fair.

He was responding to questions on when the party leadership would meet to determine the future of PAS-Bersatu ties.

Relations between the two PN component parties have become increasingly strained after Hadi said the party will reassess its cooperation with Bersatu and gave a stern warning that “patience has its limits”.

He cited several issues that had strained ties between the two parties, including Bersatu’s move to unseat the Perlis menteri besar, alleged interference in appointments involving Kedah and Kelantan, and Bersatu’s opposition to admitting new Malay-Muslim parties into PN. - FMT
