    Difficult getting support from rural Malays: PAS



    0 comments

    IPOH: PAS is having difficulty securing Malay support in rural areas and Felda schemes, said its Information chief Datuk Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man.

     

    He said this would make it difficult for the party to take on Umno in the Malay heartland.
     
    One reason for this was PAS' inclusive approach whereby its programmes were too "party-centred", he said when opening Perak PAS's 16th convention here today.
     
    Speaking to reporters afterwards, he said PAS had shorlisted its candidates for the upcoming general election and that a final decision on the successful ones would be made by the party's top leadership soon. - Bernama
