- About 1,500 PAS delegates and committee members returned to their constituencies with an agenda for Muslim unity ahead of Malaysia’s 16th general election.
- The agenda was unanimously approved at PAS’s 72nd general assembly in Kota Bharu, signaling an effort to strengthen cooperation based on Malay interests.
- The article questions how UMNO’s grassroots will respond.
About 1,500 PAS delegates and committee members have officially taken the party’s unity agenda back to their constituencies ahead of Malaysia’s 16th general election.
The move followed PAS’s 72nd general assembly in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, where delegates unanimously approved a resolution on Muslim unity.
The resolution sends a clear signal that PAS wants to strengthen political cooperation built around Malay interests. But the article turns its attention to the other side of that equation: how will UMNO’s grassroots respond?
