The PAS flag is raised next to Umno's in PWTC as both parties are set to formalise their alliance.
But the last general election led to the realignment of political forces, and foes have turned allies and allies have turned foes on both sides of the divide.
Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang will sign the pact against a backdrop of a nation drowning in the politics of race and religion. To mark the occasion, for the first time in the building's history, the PAS flag, which depicts a moon to symbolise adherence to Islamic tenets, has been raised alongside the Umno flag., which represents the party's commitment to defending the interests of the race.
