ALOR SETAR (Sept 4): PAS needs to overcome the barriers between the party and the non-Muslims in a wise manner, said its president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang. He said apart from Malay-Muslim parties, PAS should also approach and collaborate with non-Muslim parties and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) through the PAS Supporters' Congress (DHPP). He added that PAS also needs to reach out to non-Muslim voters, especially those who do not have any party affiliation, to vote for Muslim candidates. But as usual, we hold discussions at certain levels, which we do not need to disclose," he said. On Saturday (Sept 3), Umno deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan was reported to have said that there were no Umno leaders currently engaged in discussions with PAS as alleged by Hadi.
