00:00An analyst says Selangor Perikatan Nasional still needs the leadership of Bersatu Secretary-General Azmin Ali following calls for PAS
00:08to head the coalition state chapter.
00:11Azmi Hassan said Azmin's experience at Selangor Menteri Besar from 2014 to 2018 helped PN secure many votes in the
00:20last state election,
00:21where the coalition managed to deny the Barisan Nasional Pakatan Harapan Alliance a two-thirds majority.
00:28The National Council of Professors Fellow told FMT that allowing PAS to take the reins could alienate non-Malay voters,
00:37adding that PN Chairman Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar must reappoint Azmin as Selangor PN Chairman
00:42if the coalition hopes to secure the non-Malay support needed to wrest control of the state.
00:49On Monday, PAS Treasurer Iskandar Abdul Samad suggested that Selangor PAS Commissioner Abdul Halim Tamuri
00:55be made the coalition's chairman in the state.
00:59The post has been vacant since Azmin resigned on December 30th following Bersatu President Muhyiddin Yassin's decision
01:06to step down as PN Chairman.
01:09Meanwhile, Mazlan Ali of University Technology Malaysia said
01:12PAS's claim to the Selangor PN Chairmanship made sense in the context of current sentiments,
01:18citing the party's unmatched machinery and significant influence in rural areas and suburbs like Kuala Selangor and Sabah Burnam.
