PAS Party Conference to Focus on 'Unity of the Ummah'

The upcoming 72nd PAS Party Conference, scheduled to take place next week at the Kelantan Islamic Study Center (Putik) in Pengkalan Chepa, Kelantan, will center on the crucial theme of 'unity of the ummah.' PAS President Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang highlighted the significance of this theme, stating that the party aims to encourage cooperation with other political parties to collectively face contemporary challenges.

"We want to invite the unity of Malay Muslims and non-Muslims who are not extreme," Awang said after delivering a Dhuha prayer lecture at Rusila Mosque. He further elaborated that beyond inter-party unity, the conference will also address the strengthening of PAS's election machinery. This focus is particularly relevant given the approaching general election and the nearing end of the current parliamentary term.

Awang expressed confidence in the party's internal cohesion, noting, "Party unity must also exist. Our unity is good, there is no internal crisis." PAS has extended invitations to UMNO and other parties within the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition to attend the conference, which coincides with PAS's 75th-anniversary celebrations.

However, Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu), also a component of PN, was not invited. Awang indicated that this decision was made because Bersatu is considered to have deviated from the coalition's principles due to its actions. The conference aims to solidify PAS's political standing and its approach to coalition politics in Malaysia.
