What is this vision of the party?

Wawasan is not a clone of PAS but has the 'spirit' of PAS. Same but not similar. If I am worried about PAS I will also be worried about Wawasan.

What is this vision of the party?

Wawasan, a party formed with PAS's support, aims to complement Perikatan Nasional by broadening its appeal to multi-ethnic Malaysian society. Wawasan's information chief, Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamil, denied reports that his party seeks to replace PAS, saying it wants to work together with PAS to expand PN's reach. He claimed the party's goal is to gain support from non-Malay, non-Muslim communities.

PAS president Hadi Awang had advised Hamzah Zainudin to form a new party, Wawasan, to work alongside PAS in PN. Wawasan's secretary-general, Saifuddin Abdullah, described the party as a "Malaysian party" rather than a multiracial one.
