  • PAS Selangor representative Mohamed Sukri Omar called for the state Perikatan Nasional chairman to come from PAS ahead of the election.
  • He said the coalition must speed up its preparations and set a target of winning at least 36 state seats and 12 parliamentary seats.
  • PAS Selangor cited its Ihsan 2030 document as a proposed governing blueprint for the state.

PAS Selangor wants to take command of Perikatan Nasional in the state before the next election, arguing that the coalition can no longer afford to delay its preparations.

Mohamed Sukri Omar made the call during a debate on the PAS president’s policy speech at the party’s 72nd general assembly in Pengkalan Chepa, Kelantan. He said the state coalition chairman should be appointed from PAS to lead the effort to defeat the Pakatan Harapan government in Selangor.

“We can no longer be late in working toward the election. If the current PN chairman, Datuk Seri Azmin Ali of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia, still wants to be overly familiar with the Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Amiruddin Shari, this is not the time for that,” Mohamed Sukri said. “The PN chairman must be appointed from PAS to lead the victory in Selangor.”
