TUMPAT - Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (Pas), through Perikatan Nasional (PN), has adopted an approach to establish an understanding with Barisan Nasional (BN) for the Johor and Negeri Sembilan State Elections (PRN), as well as the upcoming election in Melaka, after evaluating the existence of political threats described as "dangerous".
Pas Deputy Mursyidul Am, Datuk Ahmad Yakob, said this approach was taken by Pas President, Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang, after evaluating the current political situation and recognising the need to build an understanding among Islamic parties to face these threats.
"This danger cannot be confronted unless Muslims, Islamic parties, and Malay-Muslims come together to halt the rise or advance of the enemies of Islam.
"In the context of a democratic nation, if we cannot unite the Muslim community and these Malay-Muslim parties, we may not be able to defend the strength of Islam itself," he said.
He said this while speaking at the launch of the Tumpat Pas election machinery in Kampung Sedar here on Friday.
Also present was Pas Vice-President, Datuk Idris Ahmad, who officially launched the election machinery.
Ahmad noted that Pas requires alliances, pacts, and mutual understandings to face these dangerous elements, whilst choosing an approach that poses a lesser degree of harm.
"If there is no awareness among Muslims and Malay-Muslim parties, we might end up in a situation that is deeply detrimental to us," he said.
Meanwhile, he stated that the entire Pas campaign machinery must keep moving forward and prepare for the 16th General Election (GE16), which could be held at any time.
"I am confident that everyone at the constituency level has made preparations for this journey.
"Every machinery unit must ensure that preparations are made more thoroughly so that the party can approach GE16 in a more organised manner," he added.
