00:00PAS Deputy President Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man has dismissed claims that a pro-DAP faction
00:06exists within the party.
00:09The Kubang Keryan MP said such claims were typically made by outsiders who are not party
00:13delegates responsible for electing its leadership, which includes university lecturers turned
00:18political analysts who are perceived to support PAS' rivals.
00:22We don't need to categorise people because we don't like them, so we ban them as pro-DAP.
00:30The root of the problem is that we don't like them.
00:32In PAS, there are no groups that support DAP.
00:39He said if any PAS members or leaders were truly inclined towards DAP, they would be
00:44better off joining the party given the fundamental differences in their political ideologies,
00:49which led to the two parties to part ways.
00:52On Saturday, Dewan Ulama Committee member Mokhtar Senik said the party does not need
00:57input from DAP or individuals friendly to it when determining PAS' leadership line-up
01:02for the upcoming elections.
01:04However, Mokhtar did not elaborate on his statement or reveal the identity of the individuals
01:10he referred to as friendly to DAP.
01:14To date, no DAP leaders have been reported to have publicly expressed any views or suggestions
01:19regarding PAS' leadership elections, which are set to take place at its 70th Muktamar
01:24in Kedah this September.
