PETALING JAYA: Larut MP Hamzah Zainudin’s return as parliamentary opposition leader is a “knockout blow” to Bersatu, according to Kelantan PAS Youth chief Firdaus Nawi.
Firdaus said the announcement of Hamzah’s position by PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang was not a regular statement, but a clear signal of the party’s position in the opposition bloc.
“It was a ‘knockout blow’ to Bersatu,” he said. “It sent a clear message that PAS remains the main force setting the direction of opposition politics, while Bersatu is losing value and influence,” Sinar Harian quoted him as saying in Kota Bharu.
Firdaus was responding to Marzuki Mohamad, a former principal private secretary to Muhyiddin Yassin, who reportedly accused Hadi of acting like a “supreme leader” in Perikatan Nasional.
Marzuki had criticised the announcements on Saturday of Hamzah’s reappointment as opposition leader and the decision to allow Hamzah’s new Parti Wawasan Negara to use the PN logo in the Johor and Negeri Sembilan state elections.
Bersatu and PAS are founding members of PN but have been at loggerheads.
Hamzah, a former Bersatu deputy president, launched Parti Wawasan Negara at a convention in Tanah Merah yesterday, at which Hadi announced that Hamzah would return as opposition leader, taking over from PAS vice-president Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, who will remain PN chairman.
The decisions raised questions over whether Bersatu continues to wield power in the coalition, or whether PAS is now setting the tone ahead of the Johor and Negeri Sembilan polls.
Marzuki claimed the decisions were arbitrary and were not made by the PN Supreme Council. However, Firdaus accused some Bersatu leaders of being more interested in attacking PAS and Hadi than repairing ties within the opposition bloc.
“They expected PAS to become weak once ties between PAS and Bersatu started to crack. But the reality is that PAS continues to move forward with its own strength,” he said. The presence of PN partners Gerakan and MIPP at the Reset convention showed that PAS still has influence within the coalition.
Firdaus said some Bersatu leaders were too caught up in their own political games and failed to understand grassroots sentiment.
