By Malay Mail Saturday, 23 May 2026 8:45 AM MYT KUALA LUMPUR, May 23 — PAS has instructed its leaders and members not to comment publicly on recent developments involving the Islamist party without prior approval from its top leadership.Its secretary-general, Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan, said the directive applies across all media and communication platforms, including social media, to prevent confusion and misinterpretation.He urged members to remain calm and leave the matter to PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang and the party leadership to handle “carefully” in the coming days.“PAS requests that all PAS leaders and members refrain from making any statements or comments regarding the latest developments involving PAS and other parties through any media or communication channels unless with special permission from the party,” he said in a statement yesterday.The directive comes a day after Abdul Hadi reportedly told a press conference that PAS would not cooperate with Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia in the next general election.His remarks prompted speculation over ties between the two parties, which have worked together under the Perikatan Nasional coalition.
