Krisis NS tak gugat minat PAS terhadap kerjasama dengan Umno

Analysts believe the Negeri Sembilan crisis is not affecting PAS's interest in working with Umno, despite the issue potentially causing significant pressure on both parties. According to Mazlan Ali from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, developments in Melaka show PAS's commitment to cooperation with Umno, as they have already begun using the Barisan Nasional (BN) colors and implying that the Negeri Sembilan situation has no impact on PAS.

PAS still sees cooperation with Umno as important and is not distancing itself, he added to FMT. Mazlan further noted that not all people blame BN or Perikatan Nasional (PN) for the crisis in Negeri Sembilan, as there are differing opinions among urban and rural voters, including those from the lower-income bracket. Awang Azman Awang Pawi from Universiti Malaya stated that the differences of opinion regarding the Negeri Sembilan crisis do not necessarily mean that BN-PN cooperation will be fragile.

Umno has room to openly explain its position and responsibility without denying different views from allies, he added. On Tuesday, PAS President Hadi Awang announced that PAS and BN had reached a basic agreement in cooperation talks for the upcoming PRN Melaka, scheduled for November 14th, but the distribution of seats and candidate selection are still under consideration.

PAS Member of State Assembly (exco) Fairuz Isa (Serting) was among the officials whose appointment and other exco members were cancelled by Negeri Sembilan Yang Di Pertuan Besar Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir on September 21st, following their violation of the oath of office.
