Selangor PAS today questioned DAP\u2019s intention to contest in eight state seats now held by PAS in the coming 14th general election.<\/p>\n
Selangor PAS has decided to defend the eight seats in the coming general election as DAP is seen to be working with its ally, Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah), which is a splinter party of PAS.<\/p>\n
Selangor PAS commissioner Datuk Iskandar Abdul Samad said PAS has been informed DAP wanted to wrestle the seats from PAS but the party has decided to keep the seats.<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore this, we have already heard they are entering PAS areas…we will continue to contest there and defend our seats,\u201d he told reporters at the lobby of the State Legislative Assembly here.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Selangor PAS secretary Mohd Khairuddin Othman said the state PAS would not surrender and give way to DAP in the coming general elections.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is DAP\u2019s rationale in contesting seats with 70 per cent Malay voters?<\/p>\n
This proved the voice of DAP is the voice of Amanah party as both are interested in contesting in seats won by PAS,\u201d said the state assemblyman for Paya Jaras.<\/p>\n
DAP publicity secretary Tony Pua was reported as saying the party may contest in eight PAS seats in the coming general election and have made preparations in that direction.<\/p>\n
The seats in question are Taman Templer, Lembah Jaya, Sri Serdang, Meru, Cempaka, Dusun Tua, Tanjung Sepat and Paya Jaras. <\/p>\n
However, Tony said a decision would only be made after discussions with Selangor Pakatan Harapan involving DAP, PKR and Amanah. \u2014 Bernama<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
