Pas may still choose Umno over Pribumi Bersatu

I have begun to suspect that Pas is not whole heartedly into siding with Pribumi Bersatu against Umno.

Here are excerpts of a Facebook posting by Pas' raising star Nik Abduh, the son of the late Tuan Guru Nik Aziz,

Adapun mengintip menggunakan jentera kerajaan demi kepentingan peribadi atau kepentingan parti masing-masing demi laba persaingan politik, maka ia adalah salah guna kuasa yang terlarang oleh ugama.

Setiap mukmin terikat dengan syarat dan janji dalam segala urusan muamalahnya sesama mereka. Pemerintahan adalah amanah. Menyalah gunakan jentera kerajaan demi membunuh parti dan saingan politik lain adalah khianat, salah dan dosa. 

Ia juga membantutkan usaha memulihkan demokrasi dan integriti yang sedang dituntut oleh seluruh rakyat.

Saya tidak tahu, jika benarlah intipan audio perbualan Zahid-Anwar itu, siapakah dalang intipan tersebut. Jika dia individu, dia menanggung dosa. 

Jika ia daripada jentera kerajaan, ia adalah amat salah. Bukan itu tujuan kekuatan intipan negara. Ia tidak bertujuan sewenang-wenangnya demi kepentingan individu dan parti.

Saya harap ia bukan daripada pihak kerajaan. Jika sebaliknya, saya berdoa dan berharap ia bukan daripada komplot PAS. PAS terhalang oleh hukum agama yang diimaninya daripada menggunakan perkara haram demi sampai pada matlamat perjuangan sucinya.

Well, that's quite different from the stand took by Pas' president Hadi and his supporters in the party on the matter.

I tend to like Nik Abduh for the guy has so far displayed a lack of ability to bullshit despite being a politician.

He's sort of says things as there are and appears to be quite an idealist.

If I'm not mistaken he was also the one who led young Pas leaders to kick out the pro-DAP gang who are now in Amanah.

So, there is still a possibility that Pas may turns around and choose Muafakat Nasional rather than Perikatan.

I was told that some of the older Pas leaders are also in favour of going into GE15 with Umno rather than Pribumi Bersatu.

Two of the top ones are Pas spiritual leader Hashim Jasin and deputy president Tuan Ibrahim. Both, I was told, have been quite close with Umno deputy president Mat Hasan since their party started really working together.

Whatever it is, Pas has yet to officially severe ties with Umno.

Maybe the more sensible Pas leaders like Nik Abduh have realised the danger of working with Pribumi Bersatu as its current leaders had proven themselves very capable of stabbing their partners in the back as what happened to Pakatan Harapan.

Umno, if led by someone good like Mat Hasan, probably pose a lesser risk to work with.

For this one, I recommend you all to read my previous post,
