PAS not invited to join coalition govt: Loke
Published: Jun 24, 2024 8:52 AM
Transport Minister Anthony Loke has denied that PAS would be invited to join the coalition government.
This follows media reports citing Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil neither confirming nor denying rumours that the Islamist party would join the Pakatan Harapan-led ruling coalition.
“No. There have been no discussions about PAS joining the unity government. I think the media may have misunderstood what Fahmi said.
“Fahmi said there were many discussions. Those discussions were between the federal and state governments.
“I have also met with PAS leaders. Did I invite them to join the Unity Government? No. The discussions were not political but G2G, meaning government-to-government, between the federal and state governments,” he said yesterday.
Rumours of PAS joining the unity government surfaced last October but were denied by PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang.
