Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz, information chief of Bersatu and a former Umno member, has admitted that his experience in Perikatan Nasional (PN) has altered his views on PAS and the criticisms of PAS by Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. Initially, Tun Faisal rejected Zahid's claims that PAS had betrayed Umno, but after witnessing similar conduct towards Bersatu within PN, he came to the conclusion that Zahid was right about PAS' attitude and betrayal.
This shift in perspective marks a significant change from his stance while in Umno, where he opposed Zahid's approach to PAS and the decision to collaborate with Pakatan Harapan after the 2022 general election. Additionally, Tun Faisal's earlier doubts about Zahid's claims on PAS were influenced by the collapse of the Umno-PAS partnership under Muafakat Nasional, which he no longer accepts after his time in PN.
His comments come as both PAS and Bersatu continue to operate within the PN opposition coalition, despite the political tensions between them.
