PAS MUKTAMAR | PAS Youth leaders should take wives from different races and cultures to get non-Malay votes, a delegate to its 65th muktamar has suggested today.

Selangor PAS Youth secretary Aubidullah Fahim Ibrahim said such a tactic can win the party 10 or even hundreds of supporters.

"Selangor (PAS Youth) members have a suggestion. Too bad the PAS Youth chief (Afnan Hamimi Taib Azamudden) is not here right now to listen to this idea.

"We want to suggest that leaders of this youth wing commit cross-ethnic or cross-cultural marriage.

"The reason is that when we marry someone from another ethnicity or culture, we would not win only one more vote, but insyaAllah, we will be able to get 10 or even hundreds of votes from the non-Malays or non-Muslims," he remarked, to the laughter and noises from the floor.

Adding further, the Selangor PAS Youth delegate "challenged" Afnan and his central committee members to take up the suggestion.

Aubidullah (above) also said in jest that Selangor PAS Youth chief Mohamed Sukri Omar would be leading the way.

Earlier in his speech, Aubidullah also urged PAS youth members to start working towards garnering votes from young voters by making use of various popular platforms among the age group.

These include e-sports activities, which he said have huge followings, and PAS Youth can engage members who are familiar with the activities to get close to its enthusiasts.
