ALOR SETAR: PAS is a government in waiting and it is on the verge of taking over three states in the 16th general election – Selangor, Perak and Pahang – the party said at its 71st muktamar (national assembly) yesterday.

The party proposed that when the Perikatan Nasional coalition, which it leads, captures the fede­ral government in GE16, its prime minister should be someone who is below 70-years-old and healthy.
