PETALING JAYA: The proposed political “ceasefire” between Bersatu and PAS will remain fragile unless both parties resolve their fundamental differences and address the recent political debacle in Perlis, say political analysts.
Rabi’ah Aminudin of International Islamic University of Malaysia (IIUM) said the two leading Perikatan Nasional components must iron out the differences in their political orientation and long-term objectives.
She said PAS appears to prioritise a long-term ideological vision, viewing politics as a vehicle to shape society according to Islamic principles, while Bersatu seems to be more focused on immediate electoral survival.
