PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang reiterated that the PAS will not work with any parties with ties to DAP and Parti Amanah.

The statement came hours before the PAS central committee is to decide on possible cooperation with Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu).

Abdul Hadi's remark may affect the outcome of the PAS central committee's decision.

Speaking in his constituency of Marang, Hadi reiterated that PAS would not work with those who have ties to DAP and Parti Amanah Negara.

"We already have a guideline that we will not cooperate with any parties working with DAP and Amanah," he said when asked about possible cooperation with Bersatu.

A video recording of the press conference was uploaded by Terengganukini.

Bersatu and PAS held their first formal negotiations on Feb 1, where both parties were represented by their respective deputy presidents.

The next day, Hadi downplayed the negotiations, calling it "just a meeting" and stressing that decisions would not be made based on individual officials.

Bersatu chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad publicly complained that Hadi has refused to meet Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin.

Expressing frustration, Mahathir said he would not crawl and kiss PAS' feet.

In response, PAS said it did not want the former premier to kiss its feet, but to just respect its stand.
