Johor polls: 'Total commitment' between PAS and Bersatu, says Muhyiddin

PAGOH: The partnership and cooperation between PAS and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) cannot be questioned, says Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

The Bersatu president said that the two parties had sealed its cooperation during a "muzakarah" (discussion) between the two parties last month.

"PAS is with Perikatan Nasional. In fact they are one of the founding members of the coalition.

"There is no need to continue denying or questioning PAS' loyalty to Perikatan.

"We have had our 'muzakarah' session and have presented our resolution. That shows a total commitment between the parties," he said.

He said this after launching Perikatan's Jualan Prihatin Rakyat program here at Dataran Pagoh Jaya on Friday (Feb 4).

He also dismissed claims that PAS was still trying to seek cooperation with Umno in the upcoming Johor polls.

Muhyiddin, who is also Pagoh MP, also said Perikatan would finalise seat negotiations by the end of the week.

"We have 56 state seats and we will divide it between Bersatu, Gerakan and PAS.

"Once it has been finalised, the parties can focus on their respective areas to ensure Perikatan's victory," he said.

On Saturday (Jan 29), Muhyiddin announced that Perikatan parties would use the coalition's logo in the Johor election.
