PETALING JAYA - Calls to revive Malay-Muslim cooperation under a Muafakat Nasional alliance ahead of the 15th General Election are getting louder, but with the most vociferous calls coming mostly from Parti Islam Se-Malaysia .
On Sept 3, Umno had seemingly shut the door on the Muafakat pact, saying it was time to move on without PAS. "Stop creating a narrative that PAS is a party fighting for the unity of ummah by bringing all Malay political parties together," he said. "Strategies for GE15 should be effective, not based on emotions or self-interest. We must have a winning formula. Expediting the election for any other reason would be a kamikaze move for Umno," he said, adding that Umno's top priority was Malay unity.
PAS also contested against Barisan in the Johor and Melaka state elections under the Perikatan banner. Another analyst said the all Malay-Muslim alliance touted by PAS would not have much impact as it had already happened when they formed the government in February 2020.
