KUALA LUMPUR - PAS has moved to end its relationship with Bersatu after a central committee meeting held at the party headquarters in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday night, sources confirmed, following weeks of internal tensions within the opposition bloc.
The decision comes nearly three weeks after PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang publicly said the party was reassessing its ties with Bersatu, citing concerns over strained relations between the two parties.
On May 22, Hadi had indicated that PAS was reviewing its cooperation with Bersatu and had not ruled out the possibility of contesting the next general election independently, without Bersatu as a partner.
The latest development marks a significant shift in the dynamics of Perikatan Nasional (PN), where both PAS and Bersatu have been key components of the opposition coalition.
Meanwhile, Bersatu president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said on Sunday that proposals submitted by PAS regarding its cooperation with Bersatu and efforts to strengthen PN would be brought to the party’s Supreme Leadership Council for deliberation.
In a statement on Sunday, Muhyiddin confirmed that he had received a letter dated June 6 from PAS secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan outlining several proposals on party cooperation and broader efforts to reinforce the opposition coalition.
“We will consider these proposals and bring the matter to the Bersatu Supreme Leadership Council for examination,” he said.
While Muhyiddin did not disclose the contents of the proposals, he reiterated Bersatu’s commitment to maintaining cooperation with PAS within PN.
“Bersatu reaffirms its commitment and resolve to continue fostering strong relations with PAS within Perikatan Nasional,” he added. - June 9, 2026
