00:00Urimei Chairman P. Ramasamy today suggested that PAS cut ties with Bersatu out of fear
00:06and perhaps jealousy that the outfit led by Muhyiddin Yassin would overshadow the Islamic
00:11Party.
00:12In a Facebook post, Ramasamy claimed PAS was concerned that Bersatu would continue to grow
00:18in influence and eclipse it if it did not sever ties.
00:23Ramasamy, whose Urimei Party is part of Ikatan Prihatin Rakyat, a loose coalition led by
00:29Muhyiddin, said while PAS might command stronger electoral support than Bersatu, its popularity
00:35was largely confined to certain states in peninsular Malaysia.
00:39Bersatu, on the other hand, has a national profile, he said.
00:44Ramasamy also said Muhyiddin enjoyed far greater public acceptance than PAS leaders, while Bersatu
00:50had managed to attract support from both Malays and non-Malays.
00:54PAS decided to cut ties with Bersatu on Monday, saying it would explore forming a new political
01:00pact to face upcoming elections with the goal of uniting the Umar.
01:06Yesterday, PAS President Abdul Hadi Awang said his party was obligated to cut ties with
01:11Bersatu as the latter had become greedy for seats and power, rather than acting in the interest
01:18of the Umar's unity.
