A major faction in Umno is determined to take on Bersatu in the next general election and is pressuring PAS to ditch Bersatu, forcing the Islamist party to come out with a rebuke.<br /><br />PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan said Muafakat does not prevent his party from joining any other coalition, just as it does not prevent Umno from remaining with BN.<br /><br />"No one should ask PAS to choose whether to stay with Muafakat or not as PAS is a key character in the formation of Muafakat and the policy to unite Muslims," Takiyuddin added.
