PAS youth wing approves plan to contest every seat the party holds

PAS Youth has approved a plan to keep contesting every parliamentary and state seat the party currently holds, even if it works with other parties in the next election.

The motion, submitted by the PAS Youth representative from Padang Terap in Kedah, passed unanimously without debate at the 67th PAS Malaysia Youth Assembly in Kota Bharu. Information chief Khairul Nadzir Helmi Azhar said the decision was intended to preserve the trust placed in PAS by voters and would serve as a key principle in negotiations over seat allocations with coalition partners.

Delegates also unanimously approved three other motions covering integrity, Malay-Muslim politics and the empowerment of local entrepreneurs. One called on the Malaysian government to quickly open an investigation and establish a Royal Commission of Inquiry into alleged “corporate mafia” networks involving government-linked companies, companies with vested interests and government-related projects.

Another motion urged the Malay-Muslim unity agenda to be pursued as a national priority ahead of the next general election. It called for a large-scale Unity of the Ummah gathering before the election to bring together supporters, build momentum and turn the idea of unity into an organized public movement.

The final motion called for a stricter e-commerce regulatory framework. PAS Youth said stronger rules were needed to protect local businesses from unfair competition, including an influx of foreign and counterfeit products, predatory pricing, burdens imposed by online platforms and weak protection for Malaysian products and brands.

It is to preserve the trust and confidence of voters who chose PAS as their representative, while also serving as PAS’s main policy and principle in any negotiations over seat allocations with coalition parties.
