PAKATAN Harapan is open to the idea of PAS joining the coalition, said Bersatu deputy president Mukhriz Mahathir, as this is in line with the aim of unifying Muslims in the country.
He said any effort to unite the ummah was a good move, though he hoped PAS would not seek to impose various conditions that would sideline other races.
“We are always open, but whatever it is, we have to be tolerant. We can’t say that we want to unite the Muslims when at the same time, we alienate other races,” the Kedah menteri besar said after closing the state-level Maqasid Syariah programme in Alor Star today.
On Friday, Amanah vice-president Husam Musa had invited PAS to consider the offer to join PH if it did not want its struggles over the past 60 years to overthrow the Umno government end in vain.
He reportedly said that if PAS joined PH now, it could become part of the government.
Meanwhile, Mukhriz said Bersatu was also focusing on the involvement of Umno members in PH to strengthen the existing government, as well as to increase the number of Malay-Muslims MPs in the Dewan Rakyat.
“We have to show kindness and set aside differences. I think it is for the benefit of everyone,” he said.
Earlier in his speech, Mukhriz said the Maqasid Syariah’s message and approach integrated with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were in line with the values of all people, irrespective of religion, race or nationality.
“This is because the essence of the inclusive and dynamic elements of the Shariah Maqasid are in harmony with human nature, not only for Muslims, but for everyone.
“Today, Kedah implements the Maqasid Syariah agenda as the information and enlightenment on the new government administration’s direction that incorporates the values of Rahmatan Lil’ Alamin and Maqasid Syariah,” he said.
