KUALA LUMPUR, March 31 — Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia and PAS will maintain their political cooperation through Perikatan Nasional into the 15th general election (GE15), the two parties’ secretaries-general announced today.
The decision will leave nominal ally Umno alone following the Malay nationalist party’s decision to reject Bersatu at the general election.
According to a statement from Bersatu’s Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuiddin and PAS’s Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan, this was decided in a meeting involving the presidents of both parties yesterday.
“Bersatu and PAS reject any formation of a ‘new alignment’ to form the government after GE15, especially involving PH (Pakatan Harapan) and its allies,” the two said.
They said their parties remained committed to reinforcing Muslim unification and the unity of the entire diverse community, and were prepared to work with parties that support this vision.
