Political analysts in Malaysia, Asrul Sani and Azmil Tayeb, assert that PAS continues to benefit from its association with the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition. They believe that the PN brand assists PAS in expanding its voter base beyond its traditional support. This collaboration is also seen as crucial for strengthening PAS’s national political aspirations. The experts suggest that despite PAS’s individual strength, the coalition provides a broader platform for electoral success. Maintaining the PN connection is therefore considered vital for PAS’s continued growth and influence within Malaysian politics. The analysts emphasize that severing ties with PN could hinder PAS’s ability to achieve its larger objectives.
