Trust keeps Pakatan together while PAS struggles with alliances, Saifuddin Nasution tells Melaka voters

Alor Gajah, Nov 13 — The secretary-general of Pakatan Harapan (PH), Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, explained in Melaka that the political coalition is a strong entity built on trust and mutual respect among its parties, distinguishing it from other alliances. "Trust and respect form the foundation of our collaboration," Saifuddin emphasized.

The PH candidates collectively represent the Harapan bloc, highlighting the cohesion within the coalition. PH's enduring nature is due to these values being tested over time, according to Saifuddin. He pointed out that PKR and DAP have remained in the PH coalition throughout its political journey, while Amanah joined after a split in PAS.

In contrast, PAS has experienced numerous alliances that did not last long, such as with Umno, Bersatu, and PH. These failed alliances, Saifuddin argued, indicate that PAS struggles to maintain stable political partnerships. Saifuddin urged Melaka voters to consider choosing PH candidates, as the federal government's support for the coalition would aid elected representatives in serving the people.
