00:00Penang PAS has accused Barisan Nasional's sole state executive councillor Rashidi Zinol
00:06of prioritising his government position over ummah unity after he backed continued cooperation
00:12between BN and Pakatan Harapan. Penang PAS Information Chief Fawaz Jan said in a statement
00:19that Rashidi's defence of the partnership came when Malay-Muslim unity should be a pressing
00:24agenda in Penang and nationwide. He questioned why Penang UMNO continued backing the PHDAP
00:31administration instead of working with Perikatan Nasional to strengthen what PAS described as
00:37ummah unity in Penang. Fawaz added that PAS respected Penang UMNO's political choice and
00:43remained open to dialogue while maintaining that voters would ultimately judge the parties
00:48by their actions. Rashidi had earlier called for continued BNPH cooperation saying their
00:54three-year working relationship in the State Executive Council had been constructive and
00:59beneficial to Penang. The Sungai Aceh Assemblyman maintained that cooperation with PKR and DAP
01:06was built on mutual respect, understanding and good communication with a shared focus on
01:12the people and state development. Fawaz also criticised Rashidi's stance after DAP advisor
01:19Lim Guan Eng called for UMNO to be removed from the state government, accusing Chief Minister
01:24Chao Kuan Yao of leaving BNPH's fate to the PH Presidential Council. He argued that BNPH held only one
01:32Penang Executive Council seat and contrasted this with Negeri Semilan, where BNPH was working with
01:38PNPH in what PAS viewed as proof such unity was possible. Radhinara Kamar, FMT.
