The party’s secretary-general, Takiyuddin Hassan, also said it would focus on strengthening the ties among the three parties.

“We are confident that any differences and misunderstanding that has arisen can be resolved by the party leaders,” he said in a statement.

Takiyuddin said PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang had met with Umno and PPBM leaders several times, and had sat down with PPBM president Muhyiddin Yassin yesterday.

He said cooperation among Malay parties was vital in the context of the country’s political future.

“So, we reject any attempt to split the unity of the ummah, which is the basis of this cooperation.

“We also reject any attempt to forge any new alliance with Pakatan Harapan or its allies.”

Following an Umno Supreme Council meeting last month, the party declared it would not cooperate with PPBM in GE15 and it would only work with the PN-led government until Parliament was dissolved.

Takiyuddin also said PAS would continue with its agenda of strengthening the unity among the Muslim community and empowering Muafakat Nasional (MN).

MN is an alliance between Umno and PAS, the two largest Malay-Muslim parties, which was formally set up in September 2019. In August, Umno and PAS officially accepted PPBM into the alliance.
