Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) president Muhyiddin Yassin has dismissed suggestions that his party was "confused" and hence unappealing to PAS.

He said that it was likely that PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang who was "confused".

"No. There is no confusion. I am not confused. Maybe it is him who is confused," Muhyiddin told reporters in Kuala Lumpur today.

Yesterday, PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang said his party will not collaborate with Bersatu, citing the latter's lack of leadership and the party was in a confused state, among others.

Muhyiddin suggested that Abdul Hadi might not have been keeping tabs on what Bersatu was up to, since it was a new party, but assured that they were understood by their allies in Pakatan Harapan.

"We have a constitution, we have explained our direction. We have (also) explained our aims to the grassroots and held roadshows throughout the country.

"Maybe the PAS president has not been following this. Maybe he thinks we are a new party, that's why he had wrong assumptions," said Muhyiddin.

On a separate matter, Muhyiddin described it as "normal" when asked about the news that 30 Bersatu members in Dungun had quit the party.

"I don't want to comment much, it's up to them.

"What's certain is that we have thousands supporting us. That's their right if they want to leave the party," he added.

Also present at the press conference was Bersatu chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Mahathir expressed confidence Bersatu will be able to court Malay support without PAS, which has traditionally garnered support from the community for the opposition.

He pointed out that many of Bersatu's ceramah have attracted substantial Malay crowds.

"The crowd is huge until it reaches to 12,000 and even 15,000 people although according to TV3 it's only 200 people, but that's because they cannot count.

"But we see many Malays who come to our programmes and we also see how many of them are from Umno, so it seems that Umno members are also interested in us.

"This is why we are confident that we can win," he said.
