Instead of consolidating with Umno, PAS should aspire to win over the people who supported Umno, said PAS vice-president Husam Musa today.
In a statement which was published on siasahdaily.com, Husam said PAS can do this by concentrating on the next general election and win seats held by its rival Umno."This means competition would be more critical between PAS and Umno and if PAS manages to bag victory in seats that are held by Umno representatives, only then can PAS become the main anchor party in the future," he added.
Husam felt that if the party leadership can engage in a dialogue with Umno, “there is no reason for me not contest with others who are going for the top positions in the party.”
“However, as far as I know, PAS has never officially expressed its intention to share powers with the current (BN) administration.
“Therefore, the wiser direction for PAS, would be to strengthen the party and reach for support in areas that are controlled by Umno,” he said.

Umno is desperate to cling on to power. Nothing else. Partnering with PAS is a means to achieve it. For many years, PAS Kelantan could win the hearts of the rakyat without Umno. Lately, victory for Nizar in Bukit Gantang was a victory for the rakyat.
