Communications and Multimedia Minister Salleh Said Keruak today questioned Anwar Ibrahim's statement which stated that PAS is still part of the opposition pact.

He said it was impossible for PAS and the yet-to-be registered Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) to be in the same coalition.

Salleh ( photo ) said Pakatan Rakyat would have to choose between the two parties as its partner.

"How do we comprehend Anwar's statement? DAP has announced that Pakatan Rakyat is already dead and no longer exists.

"So how can PAS still be part of a non-existent coalition?," he said in his blog posting today.

Anwar, in a statement issued by his lawyer yesterday, said that Amanah would further strengthen the opposition, together with PKR, PAS, DAP and would expand the cooperation to other committed non-governmental organisations that shared their common objectives.

"They cannot have both at the same time. Either Anwar does not understand this or he thinks we are the ones who do not understand this," Salleh said.
