00:00Former UMNO Supreme Council member Isham Jalil has applied to join PAS nearly three years after he was sacked from
00:08UMNO.
00:09In a Facebook post, he said he had decided to continue his political struggle with PAS,
00:15which he described as a sanctuary for Malay Muslims and a party free of corruption.
00:21Isham was expelled from UMNO in December 2023 over allegations of disloyalty and failing to comply with party decisions.
00:30Once a strong supporter of UMNO President Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, he later became a critic after the party began cooperating
00:38with DAP.
00:39Despite applying to join PAS, Isham said he hoped UMNO and Barisan Nasional would win the Johor state election.
00:47He also hoped PAS and UMNO could work together to form the Negeri Sembilan and Melaka state governments after their
00:55respective elections.
00:57Isham said such cooperation could pave the way for an UMNO unity government after the next general election.
01:04In a separate Facebook post, Selangor PAS Youth Chief Sukri Omar welcomed Isham to the party.
