MUKTAMAR | PAS President Abdul Hadi Awang today reiterated his party will not in any way, collaborate with Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu).

This is because, he said, Bersatu lacked direction and leadership.

"We have assessed, Bersatu does not have any sense of leadership. Don't know who's the congregation and who's the imam.

"That is why we have decided not to work with Bersatu," Hadi told a press conference after officially opening the 63rd PAS Muktamar in Alor Setar today.

The remark by the Marang MP puts to rest, questions about any possible cooperation between the two parties.

Previously, various pictures have been given by different PAS leaders, on the matter.

This includes a statement by Hadi's deputy Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man, which implied that the Islamist party was still in negotiations with Bersatu.

However, Hadi had later said that PAS had decided not to have any form of political cooperation with Bersatu.
