Tensions in Perikatan Nasional are escalating with a PAS lawmaker suggesting that the party and Bersatu part ways in the next election. 😂👍👍👍
This comes after Bersatu secretary-general Azmin Ali took a dig at PAS' claims that Bersatu did not have strong grassroots support.
Speaking at the launch of Bersatu's Malacca machinery in Klebang last night, Azmin (above, second from left) said there was a large crowd in attendance.
He said there were also big crowds at two previous events in Masjid Tanah and Pantai Kundur.
Based on photos shared by Azmin, it’s estimated that around 200 people attended the event at Klebang last night, which also featured Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin.

"I feel hurt when people say we don't have machinery. Open your ears, open your ears. Don't be deaf.
"Who are all these people? They are not orang bunian (fae folk), these are (the Bersatu) machinery," the Bersatu secretary-general exclaimed.
The remark was a retort at jabs from various PAS leaders, including party president Abdul Hadi Awang, who said Bersatu's appetite for seats did not match its small machinery that required heavy support from PAS.
Azmin's remarks triggered PAS information chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari, who said if a factual assessment of Bersatu's machinery was deemed "deaf", then there is no hope for harmonious cooperation between the two parties.

"Therefore, I personally suggest that the best way forward is for us to move separately. 😂👍👍👍
"We can remain friends, just not on an election stage. You (Bersatu) should find a political partner who can hear, see, and smell better," the Pasir Mas MP quipped.
There is strong speculation that PAS' push against Bersatu is aimed at securing a partnership with axed party rebels aligned with former Bersatu deputy president Hamzah Zainudin, who is still partyless.
