00:00PAS President Abdul Hadi Awang has rejected Muhyiddin Yassin's claim that Perikatan
00:05Nacional has become toxic under the leadership of PAS and straight from its original struggle.
00:12Hadi instead blamed Bersatu for the worsening ties between the two parties,
00:17saying the rift was caused by Bersatu's misconduct within PN.
00:21His remarks came after Muhyiddin accused PAS of making baseless allegations against Bersatu
00:28leaders and blamed PAS for the perilous political crisis.
00:32PAS cut political ties with Bersatu on June 8.
00:36Both parties remained in the opposition coalition but campaigned separately for the Johor polls,
00:42despite contesting under the PN logo. Hadi said Bersatu's plan to form a new coalition
00:49after the Negeri Sambilat election was its own decision. He said PN under PAS would focus on
00:55saving the people. PN has an electoral understanding with Bersan Nacional for the August 1st polls
01:02and will contest 11 seats while BN will vie for 25. Bersatu will contest 24 seats under its own logo.
01:10Earlier today, Hadi described the cooperation between PN and BN in the Negeri Sambilat election
01:16as more than a marriage. He said both coalitions would campaign for each other's candidates but
01:22stop short of saying whether the arrangement will translate into a formal alliance.
