00:00Former UMNO Supreme Council member Puat Zarkashi said PAS paid a heavy price to kill off Bersatu
00:07in the Johor state election after choosing not to help its Perikatan national partner during the campaign.
00:15PAS's biggest achievement, he said, was denying Bersatu any representation in the Johor Assembly,
00:21but the party was also wiped out after losing its only seat, Maharani, to UMNO.
00:27Puat described PAS's decision as strange politics, saying the party was willing to weaken its own coalition partner and should
00:36not be considered an ally.
00:39He urged the incoming Johor government not to appoint PAS members as any of the five appointed assemblymen.
00:47Although PAS urged its supporters to vote for Bersatu national in seats not contested by PN,
00:54Puat dismissed claims that the party helped secure BN's landslide victory.
01:00He said PAS's low vote share showed its supporters had little impact, attributing BN's win to a strong blue wave
01:09and returning Chinese voters.
01:12BN won 48 of the 56 Johor Assembly seats, while Pakatan Harapan won eight and PN was wiped out after
01:21losing all 33 seats it contested.
