Nik Aziz unlikely to get his way

[...] The fact that he openly named party president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang, his deputy Nasaruddin Mat Isa and others like secretary general Datuk Mustafa Ali and Selangor PAS commissioner Datuk Hasan Ali indicates he is prepared to burn his bridges.

“He believes this is his final battle to ‘save’ PAS from a deadly embrace with Umno,” said a PAS state leader by telephone from Kelantan, the power base of the PAS veteran.

“He believes that PAS would be burned and wounded in any union with Umno,” he told The Malaysian Insider. “He believes Umno as a secular and nationalist party is a great danger to Islam.”

“He is particularly incensed with Nasaruddin… he cannot stand the sight of him,” the state leader said, adding that tomorrow’s central committee meeting to decide whether to agree to Nik Aziz’s request for an EGM or to reject it, would be a parting of ways for Nik Aziz.

“They will never agree to an EGM,” he said. “Nik Aziz has to come to terms with that… it is the start of the slide for him and eventual retirement.”- + selanjutnya
