KUALA LUMPUR: PAS says it has yet to decide on forming so-called “unity governments” with Umno in four states, following a report quoting Umno acting president Mohamad Hasan as saying that discussions were underway to form coalition governments in four states.
PAS vice-president Idris Ahmad, who is co-chairing a working committee on Umno-PAS cooperation, could not confirm the matter when contacted.
“This coalition government matter is a big issue and PAS can’t make a statement.
“We have to discuss first before deciding,” he told FMT.
Umno vice-president Khaled Nordin, when contacted, refused to comment on this matter.
Utusan Malaysia today quoted Mohamad as saying that unity governments made up of the two Malay-Muslim parties were being planned for Terengganu, Pahang, Kelantan and Perlis.
The paper said the matter was also discussed by Umno and PAS leaders recently.

PETALING JAYA: A Malay newspaper has reported that Umno and PAS are in discussions to form a coalition government (“kerajaan campuran”), just a few days after both parties had announced they are officially working together.
According to Utusan Malaysia, acting Umno president Mohamad Hasan said the suggestion of having a united “ummah” (Islamic community) government in Terengganu, Pahang, Kelantan and Perlis was discussed at the recent Umno-PAS special committee meeting.
The collaboration between the two parties is set to shake up the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government in Perak and Kedah, where Barisan Nasional has a small majority.
“We will ‘shake’ them up till they feel uneasy,” Mohamad told Umno leaders in Melaka today, the daily reported.
