PAS’ record of political cooperation ends in “divorce” – Saifuddin Nasution

BATU PAHAT: PAS's record of political cooperation shows that it will end in 'divorce', said Pakatan Harapan (PH) secretary-general Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail. He said the latest development regarding the cooperation between PAS and Bersatu was not unusual when viewed based on the political history of the parties. Saifuddin Nasution said PAS had formed collaborations with many parties including Semangat 46, PH, UMNO and Bersatu, but all of these collaborations ultimately did not last. "Anyone who joins him (PAS) ends up with divorce. The issue is single talaq or double talaq or triple talaq, that's all," he told reporters after the Home Minister's Citra Negara Program: Safe Schools at the Batu Pahat High Technology Training Centre (ADTEC) here, today. He said that although the reason often put forward by PAS is the unification of the ummah, the concept cannot be interpreted according to the wishes or interests of certain parties. Saifuddin Nasution said the true political principles of Islam are to uphold justice, call for goodness, prevent evil and instill love and unity among society. Meanwhile, he stressed that PH's strength does not depend on the division of its opponents, but rather is built through relationships based on trust and respect between its component parties. "We do not become strong because our opponents are divided. We become strong because we build our own strength. In PH, that strength is built through joint efforts and the principles of mutual trust and mutual respect," he said. Yesterday, PAS President Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang announced that the party had officially decided to end political cooperation with Bersatu after taking into account reports, studies and current assessments of the relationship between the two parties. -- BERNAMA
