Striking different note, PAS man says willing to concede Pahang MB post

Pahang Perikatan Nasional is ready to compromise by handing over the position of menteri besar to BN in an effort to realise the formation of a state government through cooperation between the two coalitions.

PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said, however, that BN needs to meet several conditions and demands in line with the strength of PN, which won 17 seats compared to BN’s 16, in the 15th general election.

Tuan Ibrahim said among the demands is that three of the five appointed state assembly members be given to PN, of which PAS is a part of, and that the coalition receives the same number of exco seats in addition to the state assembly speaker post.

“I am confident that (caretaker menteri besar) Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail, who represents Pahang BN, will probably consider our conditions.

“God willing, the ray of hope is everywhere, Pahang PN is ready to compromise as a model for unifying the ummah and Pahang will be used as a model,” he was reported as saying by Kosmo Malaysia.

Tuan Ibrahim’s statement runs contrary to the views of Indera Mahkota MP-elect Saifuddin Abdullah, who today blasted Umno/BN for being greedy, saying that the coalition was demanding the MB seat and seven out of eight executive council positions.

In GE15, PN won 17 seats, followed by BN (16), and Pakatan Harapan (8).

Pahang Harapan and PN have begun negotiations but, thus far, no decision has been made.

“Therefore, the political understanding of PN and BN through the Muafakat Nasional pact is the best way for the unity of the ummah and stability in this state,” said Tuan Ibrahim.
