00:00The crisis in Prakatan Nasional between PAS and Bersatu is causing unease among the small parties allied with them under
00:08the Luz Ikatan Prihatin Rakyat Alliance, according to analysts.
00:12Shaza Shukri of the International Islamic University Malaysia said their concern over the TIF was apparent, as none of them
00:19have openly spoken up on the matter.
00:21With preparations for the 16th general election underway, she said the smaller parties in IPR would want to see the
00:28opposition defeat Pakatan Harapan.
00:30However, she said they also realized that this goal would be hard to achieve without PAS.
00:36She said if the conflict between PAS and Bersatu remains unresolved, it would force other parties in PN and IPR
00:43to choose sides.
00:44She said the rift in the opposition bloc would ultimately benefit PH and UMNO.
00:48Malaysian Advancement Party President P. Weita Murti recently appealed to all parties within PN, especially the PAS leadership, to continue
00:57prioritizing unity and the interests of the people.
01:00Weita's remarks came after PAS President Abdul Hadi Awang announced that PAS was reassessing its ties with Bersatu with a
01:07view to PAS be contesting GE16 without the party.
01:10Academy Nusantara's Asmi Hassan said Weita's call on PAS reflected how minor parties in IPR have pinned their election hopes
01:19on PAS, although the loose coalition is spearheaded by Bersatu President Muhirin Yassin.
