Selangor PAS' readiness to contest in 42 state seats shows that it is not a 'kingmaker' but a spoiler in the next general election, said Amanah Youth deputy chief Faiz Fadzil.

"The statement also clearly shows that PAS is now like a 'suicide bomber' and not a 'kingmaker'.

"(By forcing multi-cornered fights) PAS is not just killing itself, but killing those around it too," Faiz said in a statement today.

Pundits have pointed out that if PAS contests as a third force in the next general elections, the Islamist party could split opposition votes and give the win to BN instead.

Selangor PAS commissioner Sallehen Mukhyi earlier today said the party was ready to square-off against both BN and Harapan. 

He also said that PAS wants back the Gombak seat currently held by Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali.

In light of this, Faiz said Harapan should move on from negotiating with PAS, as the latter has not shown an interest in working together.

Currently, Azmin, who is a Harapan vice-president, is adamant that his party PKR, should continue talking to PAS.

This, however, has caused rifts within PKR, with Selayang MP William Leong - who is against the talks - quitting the political bureau in protest.
