KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 24 — PAS’ ability to woo non-Muslim or non-Malay support for the 16th general election will depend on how much the party tones down its extremist rhetoric, political analysts have said.
“Meaning that, without the support of the non-Malays, it would be impossible for them to form a federal government.“Yes, they can form a state government, but limited to only Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu, and Perlis. “If Amanah can do that, I am sure PAS can too. There are a lot of similarities, such as the professionalism demonstrated by both Amanah and PAS leaders. They share the same DNA.But to convince non-Malays or non-Muslims, PAS must do away with views that give the impression that the party is extremist, Azmi said.
Weighing in, assistant professor of political science at International Islamic University Malaysia Syaza Shukri said if PAS were to make a concerted effort to court non-Malays or non-Muslims, it would have a better chance with Indian voters.
