Political analyst Ramasamy Urimai asserts that PAS’s decision to cut ties with Bersatu inadvertently secured Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s position. He argues PAS weakened the opposition bloc, effectively delivering Putrajaya to Anwar without a significant struggle. Urimai contends that this move represents a missed opportunity for PAS to challenge the current administration. The chairman of Urimai believes PAS essentially facilitated Anwar’s rise to power by fracturing opposition unity. This analysis suggests PAS prioritized its own political considerations over a broader opposition strategy. The outcome, according to Urimai, is a strengthened position for Anwar and a diminished role for PAS in national politics. He frames the situation as PAS having ceded control, handing power to their rivals.
