PAS’ penchant for self-delusion is unlimited. judging from its tie-up with Parti Ikatan Bangsa Malaysia (Ikatan), said DAP national vice-chair M Kulasegaran.

“After tickling the public’s curiosity by saying it is linking up with a multiracial opposition party, PAS announces that Ikatan is its new partner in opening up a third force in Malaysian politics,” said the MP for Ipoh Barat.

“How is a pact between an Islamist party and one devoted to the vision and ideals of Malaysia’s founding prime minister Tunku Abdul Rahman going to amount to a third force in our politics?” asked Kulasegaran.
