PAS and Pakatan Rakyat

There is a polemic out there since the 55th PAS Muktamar which is the issue of Unity Government, first introduced by Hadi Awang, President of PAS. On the other hand, another cleric of PAS, Nik Aziz went all out against the Unity talk with PAS's long term nemesis, UMNO.

So it is written in history, Nasharuddin Mat Isa had beaten another two deputy president candidates, Husam Musa and Mohamad Sabu. Nasharuddin is a good leader and is known a good boy of PAS. He is very loyal and have good leadership characteristics and we never heard anything bad about him since the Reformasi movement era.

As for Husam, he is a golden boy of Nik Aziz and there was a rumour he will be the next Kelantan Menteri Besar. That is the reason why he was brought to contest in Kijang, one of Kelantan States legislative. Always he, Husam Musa attend the meeting of Pakatan Rakyat coalition which involving PAS, PKR and DAP. We all know the de facto leader of the coalition who made this coalition happen, if not Anwar Ibrahim. There is perception he is too close to the de facto leader, Anwar Ibrahim.

Mohamad Sabu is a well known a good PAS leader and an activist. A good preacher who can makes a stunning, provocative and direct approach when he speaks and he can influences the people for an instance. Though many UMNO leaders didn't like him in early days because he can makes a difference as Mahfuz and Nasharuddin in early Reformasi era.

I dont' want to explain any detail of the differences of opinions in PAS nowadays but the way I see it, PAS is ready to make a step forward regardless of what people say about them.

Hadi Awang, Nasharuddin and Mustafa Ali will make sure the party is strong as ever and protected the interest of the Malays. Not many UMNO Malays will shift their votes to PKR and DAP and they are not sure with PAS either. Hadi Awang will gains their confidence to replace UMNO and that is what Hadi Awang is doing. PAS will come first.

Meanwhile, Nik Aziz, Husam Musa and Khalid Samad will continue to make the Pakatan Rakyat coalition stronger and ready to involve in the new government should they win in the 13th General Election.

I like the terminology of one of the online newspapers, "PAS is dancing in their on tune".
