PAS will perform badly if it goes alone in GE14, says Dr M



Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad has warned PAS that it would perform badly if it decides to contest alone in the 14th general election.
Commenting on the decision by party's syura council yesterday to sever political ties with PKR, the former premier described the Islamist party as "confused".
"Well I do not know, I think it is very confusing for PAS, as on one hand they do not want to work with anybody, and on another hand they want to work with somebody. I do not know their policy.
"On their own, PAS had never performed well. If they go for election on their own, without working with others, for example with the DAP in particular, their performance will be very bad," he said when met at the Jalan Duta court complex in Kuala Lumpur today.
Mahathir reminded that PAS won just one seat when they contested alone.
However, when they contested with the DAP, he added, they once had 27 parliamentary seats.
"That was the highest score and obviously (if they contest alone) they cannot form the government"."

Mahathir was referring to the general election in 1986 when PAS won only one parliamentary seat.
Yesterday, PAS' syura council officially announced that it was severing ties with PKR.
PAS, PKR and DAP were formerly members of the now defunct Pakatan Rakyat.
Following the collapse of Pakatan Rakyat, DAP and PKR formed Pakatan Harapan together with Amanah.
