I strongly disagree with PAS pertaining to its three conditions as I do believe that it has to approach these talks with an open mind and without any preconditions. ([#1] No talks if Umno rejects pre-conditions [/#], March 18)

I feel that PAS' image has been hurt by this as it certainly looks like it is afraid to sit down with Umno. Mind you, I am no supporter of Umno's, but I do believe PAS should sit down without any pre-conditions as we Malays would like to see the beginning and outcome of such a discussion.
