Recently, PAS Youth warned Pakatan Harapan (PH) that its members are geared up to bury the ruling coalition headed by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in the next 16th General Election (GE16).

Why the need to warn PH?

Just do it.

Stop the verbosity.

Get on with the action.

Concrete action steps.

Not visions.

Ordinary Malaysians already knows all PAS needs to do is win enough seats in the next general election and Putrajaya will be theirs to occupy.

Already Malays make up approximately 58.3% of Malaysia's total population according to the official Department of Statistics Malaysia data.

There are 86 seats in Peninsular Malaysia where Malay voters make up 65% or more of the electorate.

There are 32 seats in Peninsular Malaysia where Malay voters make up between 51% and 64% of the electorate.

Out of the 165 total parliamentary seats in the peninsula, 118 are Malay-majority (combining 86 large and 32 marginal seats).

118 seats.

More than the numerical backbone required to achieve the simple majority of 112 seats needed to form the federal government.

Please do your job.

Win all the 118 Malay majority seats and PAS will govern Malaysia on its own.

PAS will not need to listen or entertain any demands from other political parties and also other non Malay Malaysians.

They are irrelevant to PAS’s governance structure.

With 118 seats, PAS already has the simple majority defined in Article 43(2)(a) of the Federal Constitution of Malaysia, holding the backing of the majority of the house.

PAS can then show all Malaysians their governance model for all Malaysians.

Show other Malaysians why the people of Kelantan, Terengganu, Perlis and Kedah continuously voted PAS back in, general elections after general elections.

That PAS did not win by default or the votes for PAS was no fluke.

It is real.

Ordinary Malaysians really voted in PAS, in every general elections.

If the governance is bad as what other politicians portray a rule by PAS will be, why the people in those 4 states continued to vote for PAS to govern them?

Obviously PAS has done something right that the people in those 4 states are heppy with.

Come on.

What are you waiting for?
