Focus on Umno pact, PAS spiritual leader says after PN suspended

PAS spiritual leader Hashim Jasin has urged both PAS and Umno to focus on their alliance for the Melaka state election, despite Perikatan Nasional (PN) being suspended. Jasin emphasized that leaders from both parties must put aside their egos, especially during seat negotiations. He highlighted that achieving a PAS-Umno alliance would be crucial for expanding their unity to the 16th general election.

Jasin stated that this cooperation benefits society, particularly Malays, and should be prioritized by the ummah's interests over personal ones. He added that leaders from both parties should avoid actions that could cause division. Meanwhile, Barisan Nasional (BN) is expected to discuss potential alliances with prospective partners, including PN and Pakatan Harapan.
