The Selangor Amanah convention today approved a motion urging Selangor Menteri Besar Mohamed Azmin Ali to review PAS’ position in the state government.

The motion, which was proposed by Ampang Amanah chief Mohd Anuar Mohd Yusof, was unanimously accepted by the delegates.

Debating the motion, Anuar said PAS’ existence in the Selangor government would only impede Pakatan Harapan's chances of winning in the 14th general election.

“As the election date is near, we propose that the Selangor menteri besar review PAS’ position in the state government.

“This is so that their continued presence does not hamper efforts to defend Harapan in Selangor in the upcoming general election,” said Anuar at the convention in Ampang today.

Contacted by Malaysiakini later, Anuar said the approved motion will now be forwarded to the state leadership.

Following PAS’ muktamar in May, the Islamist party decided to cut ties with PKR.

Despite having severed ties with PKR, Selangor PAS did not call for the resignations of its three state executive councillors, citing the “mandate” given by the rakyat in the last general election under Pakatan Rakyat.

Azmin had also decided to maintain PAS in the state government on the same grounds.
