00:00So PAS by itself cannot rule the country, PAS has to work with non-Malays and Malays who are not PAS members.
00:12Former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad said PAS will not be able to form an independent government
00:19because of the limited popularity.
00:22Mahathir said the Islamic Party led by Abdul Hadi Awang is only able to win the votes of Malaysian people in four countries,
00:29Kelantan, Tengganu, Kedah and Perlis.
00:33That's not enough.
00:35They have won about 40 seats.
00:3840 seats cannot become the government.
00:41They must work with other governments.
00:44So if PAS wants to be the government, it has to find at least another 80 seats
00:52to make up 112 seats to form the government.
00:57And the 80 seats will come from the West Coast.
01:00And the West Coast people are not supporters of PAS.
01:04He said even though the popularity of UMNO among Malays is declining
01:09and several cases of corruption are being faced by the leaders,
01:13PAS is still having a hard time getting an easy majority in the people's court.
01:18Touching on the potential of Malaysia, former MP Langkawi said
01:23this country failed to be considered as a developed country due to corruption and politicking.
01:29In 2003, I stepped down,
01:32thinking that Abdullah would follow the same policies
01:38which has contributed much to the development of Malaysia
01:43to the point where Malaysia was known as an Asian tiger.
01:48So I thought that if I stepped down as Prime Minister,
01:55I would continue with the principles that benefit the country.
02:04I think that if they continue with the principles
02:11that make Malaysia an Asian tiger,
02:16by 2020, Malaysia would have become a developed country.
02:24But they didn't do it.
02:27In 1981, he was appointed as Prime Minister for the first time.
02:32In 2003, after 22 years in office, he was replaced by Abdullah.
02:39Six years later, Najib Razak became Prime Minister.
