00:00Bersatu and PAS appear to be using DAP as a scapegoat to reject UMNO's Grand Coalition to unite Malay Muslim parties in the hope of derailing it, says an analyst.
00:11Azmi Hassan of Akademi Nusantra said in doing so, the two Perikatan Nasional components risk giving the perception that they prioritise their political agenda over the unification of Malay Muslims.
00:25Azmi added that Bersatu and PAS's argument against the Grand Coalition was weak, since UMNO and DAP's relationship was solely in governing the country.
00:35He told FMT, as a matter of fact, DAP and UMNO are always seen opposing each other, adding that Bersatu and PAS are just making excuses not to join the Grand Coalition with DAP as a scapegoat.
00:49Earlier this week, Bersatu President Muhyiddin Yassin said Bersatu would not take part in the proposal by UMNO President Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, as long as the latter continued to work with DAP.
01:02Meanwhile, PAS President Abdul Hadi Awang said the party would only join Zahid's Malay Unity Plan if the alliance was anchored by a government guided by the commands of Allah.
