It's time for PAS to take over the role of the leader of the opposition, says Puad
A former Umno leader claimed that PAS was keeping Hamzah Zainudin at the moment to ensure Wawasan's support remained until PAS truly became dominant compared to Umno.
Puad Zarkashi, a former Umno leader, has suggested that PAS take over as opposition leader from Hamzah Zainudin, citing his unimpressive performance during the 2027 Budget debate. Puad claimed Hamzah failed to present new proposals or policies, only discussing high-impact economic growth engines. He also alleged that PAS is keeping Hamzah as opposition leader to maintain Wawasan's support until PAS becomes dominant over Umno.
Additionally, Puad criticized the opposition for not presenting an alternative budget, unlike Rafizi Ramli's shadow budget.
