Don’t test our patience, PAS warns ‘ungrateful’ Azmin

The Selangor MB's sarcastic remark about PAS’ Nik Abduh has resulted in a PAS leader threatening to take back seats they 'lent to PKR' in the last GE.

PETALING JAYA: PKR deputy president Azmin Ali’s sarcasm levelled against PAS Youth chief Nik Abduh Nik Abdul Aziz has stoked tensions between the two parties.
Selangor PAS Muslimat (women) chief Wan Hasrina Wan Hassan, describing Azmin as “kacang lupakan kulit” (ungrateful) in a statement today, claimed his sarcasm had put a strain on the political cooperation between PAS and PKR.
“Azmin should realise that he is in the Selangor menteri besar’s (MB) seat because of PAS’s proposal.
“If he wants to rely on his own party, (he should know that) his name was not even on the list (of candidates for the MB post),” she said.
She was responding to Azmin’s tweet earlier this week, in which he poked fun at the defeat of a PAS leader who purportedly had ambitions to see his party take over the Selangor government.
The tweet came shortly after Nik Abduh’s massive defeat at the Pengkalan Chepa PAS divisional election, in which he had challenged incumbent Izani Husin for the division’s deputy head post.
“I’m proud of Nik Abduh. Although he lost the election, he continued to be with PAS,” said Wan Hasrina.
“That is the attitude that every PAS fighter should have – to fight sincerely for Allah and not for titles or positions.”
She warned Azmin and his party that if the top leadership of PAS decided to cut ties with PKR, the women’s wing would abide by the decision as they could not have “those who forget where they come from” as their allies.
“Again, the Selangor Muslimat wing reminds Azmin not to test our patience, and not to feel too comfortable in his current position.”
The same warning was issued by PAS research centre director Mohd Zuhdi Marzuki, who according to Utusan Malaysia, threatened to “take back” the seats that the Islamist party “lent” to PKR in the last general election.
Zuhdi was reported as saying this could happen if PAS decided to cut ties with PKR in the former’s forthcoming muktamar.
He said PAS had a strategy to take over Selangor, even if Azmin didn’t believe it was possible.
“We do not rule out the possibility of taking back all the seats in Selangor, including PKR seats. For now we still have ties with PKR and we will wait for the decision (to be made during the muktamar).
“If we cut ties (with PKR), we will take back all the seats, not only in Selangor, but in the country,” he added.
PAS has retained its political relationship with PKR even after the demise of the former opposition coalition of Pakatan Rakyat, and despite its insistence that it would not work with DAP and Amanah, which are PKR’s allies in the new opposition pact Pakatan Harapan.
The bond between PKR and PAS, especially in Selangor, has appeared to be close to breaking since the altercation between Azmin and Nik Abduh. -FMT
