  • PAS will continue to use the Perikatan Nasional (PN) logo in the upcoming Johor and Negeri Sembilan state elections.
  • The decision aligns with PAS's continued membership in PN, despite the end of its political cooperation with Bersatu.
  • PAS stated that the logo issue should not be a point of contention as the party remains within PN.

The Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) has confirmed its decision to continue using the Perikatan Nasional (PN) logo for the upcoming state elections in Johor and Negeri Sembilan. This stance reflects PAS's ongoing commitment to its position within the PN coalition, even after the conclusion of its political collaboration with the Malaysian United Indigenous Party (Bersatu).

Iskandar Abdul Samad, PAS's Treasurer General, explained that the party's continued use of the PN logo is consistent with its status as a member of the coalition. He indicated that the cooperation with Bersatu had ended, but PAS remains an integral part of PN.

Abdul Samad further elaborated that the issue of logo usage should not be a subject of dispute. He emphasized that PAS's presence within PN remains unchanged, and the party's crescent moon symbol is already a familiar element within the coalition's branding. The party's commitment to the PN alliance underscores its strategic political alignment in the Malaysian political landscape.
