00:00PAS has decided to sever ties with Bursatu nearly three weeks after the party's president,
00:06Abdul Hadi Awang, accused Bursatu of straining ties between both parties.
00:11This was decided by the Islamic Party's Central Committee, which convened at the PAS headquarters
00:17in Kuala Lumpur. In a statement, Hadi said the PAS leadership had thoroughly reviewed the position
00:23and direction of its alliance with Bursatu based on reports and evaluations.
00:30Instead, PAS will explore forming a new political pact to face the upcoming state elections
00:35and the next general election with the goal of uniting the UMA.
00:40Hadi said PAS welcomes academics, professionals, political leaders and community activists to join its ranks.
00:48On May 22nd, Hadi had said PAS was reassessing its ties with Bursatu
00:53and would possibly contest GE16 without Muhyiddin Yassin's party.
