Pas: Ending Bersatu Tie-Up Based on Principles, 'Ummah' Interests

Pas has articulated that its decision to cease political cooperation with Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) was driven by fundamental principles and the overarching interests of the Muslim community, referred to as the 'ummah'. The party leadership asserts that these core values and long-term community welfare considerations were prioritized above any transient political advantages.

Dr. Mohd. Zamri Mohd. Zainuldin, head of the Pas Selangor Ulama Council, voiced his support for the decision made by the Pas Central Working Committee. He indicated that the termination of the alliance was the result of careful deliberation and adherence to the party's established policies and ethical framework. This suggests a deliberate and principled approach to political partnerships.

The party's stance underscores a commitment to maintaining its ideological integrity and prioritizing what it perceives as the collective good of the 'ummah'. This strategic move positions Pas to potentially forge new alliances or pursue its political objectives independently, guided by its foundational principles rather than expediency. The decision reflects a desire for political engagements that are seen as more aligned with the party's long-term vision and its role within the broader Islamic community.
