He said PAS was capable only of winning votes in Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah and Perlis. “That’s not enough,” said Mahathir, who is an unofficial adviser to the four PAS-led state governments.Speaking in a special interview with FMT, Mahathir said PAS had won more than 40 parliamentary seats at the 2022 general election but “that is not enough to become the government”.
Mahathir said PAS would struggle to secure a majority of the seats in the lower house despite Umno’s loss of support among Malay voters, and Bersatu’s numerous problems, including corruption cases and defections.In the current Parliament, PAS and Bersatu form the opposition, while the government is formed by a coalition of Pakatan Harapan, Barisan Nasional and East Malaysia parties who control 153 seats.
“Just try and grow the country,” he said, noting that Malaysia had failed to reach the status of a developed country, despite its massive potential. He pinned the blame on corruption and politicians who focused on politicking rather than development.
