Malaysian Politics- PAS only joins the Winner

I would normally not comment about a neither here nor there political party like PAS (Parti Islam Se-Malaysia). It is not that the party is not significant politically in Malaysia, it has strong grassroots and support base over several states in Malaysia. It has however become more of a power hungry party that is more than willing to 'sleep' with any coalition or party that can hang on to power, namely form a government at federal or state level.

When PAS was out of power, it was willing to work with Barisan Nasional (BN, which is dominated by UMNO or United Malay National Organisation), but when Perikatan Nasional (PN, which is dominated by Bersatu, a splinter party from UMNO) had an upper hand to form a new government, PAS immediately had a change of heart and switched its allegiance to Perikatan Nasional (PN).

This is utterly glaring when PAS abandoned BN totally to join PN in the upcoming Melaka state election on 20 November 2021. PAS went further to abandon its party logo that is in existence and has been used since 1947 in the coming state election of Melaka in favour of PN's logo, a coalition party that is less than 2 years old.

It is believed that PN has a stronger chance of winning the state election and forming a government in Melaka. So much for PAS's self-proclaimed religious values. Is it just a party that is playing its cards to its advantage and maximize its ability to stay in power? Time will tell...

You will appreciate how 'strong' is PAS's allegiance to PN when you read the above article, and further understand what is the key focus of this modern PAS in the era of current leadership.
