PAS vice-president Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah said this was in line with its terms that any political party wanting to cooperate with the Islamist party should not establish ties with its rivals, namely DAP and Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah).

“The door is closed. This is the party’s (PAS) stand, it’s indeed clear from the beginning,” he told reporters after attending the Kelantan state legislative assembly sitting at the Kota Darul Naim Complex here yesterday.

On Monday, Pakatan Harapan unanimously accepted PPBM as the latest member of the opposition coalition after the decision was made at a Pakatan Harapan presidential council meeting.

On the meeting between PAS and PPBM prior to this, Amar said it was only centered on the views of PAS on several matters.

“We were just discussing before this, there were no real negotiations. We were discussing ideas, issues… that’s all. Not to a point of something serious or conclusive… when they (PPBM) became official (on joining Pakatan Harapan), then we’re done here,” he said.
