KUALA LUMPUR, June 10 — Selangor Speaker Hannah Yeoh warned Pakatan Rakyat today that PAS’ decision to sever ties with coalition partner DAP was “serious” and could have wide reaching implications for the state.

Although saying it was “premature” to consider the possibility of snap elections in Selangor, she reiterated that PAS’s decision was “not to be taken lightly.”

“It’s not feedback, it’s not a suggestion, it’s a PAS national muktamar So I think that motion has very serious repercussions,” she said on the side-lines of a forum discussing the Official Secrets Act 1972.

“I think it’s premature to even consider a snap election, we are just two years into this administration after GE13, but we’ll wait for CEC’s decision,” she said.

This is the second time the PR administration in Selangor is in crisis, after the move to oust then Selangor mentri besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim.

Khalid, who is Port Klang state assemblyman, was expelled from PKR last year for refusing to accept the party’s decision for him to make way for PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail to become Selangor MB.

PAS had then refused to nominate Dr Wan Azizah for the post, however, triggering a disagreement with its Pakatan Rakyat allies that continued to escalate until the present.

PKR deputy president Azmin Ali was eventually appointed as mentri besar, due largely to his nomination by PAS.

Last weekend, the PAS muktamar approved a motion to stay in Pakatan Rakyat (PR) but cut ties with DAP without debate, although secretary-general Datuk Mustafa Ali insisted later that this still needs the endorsement of its advisory Syura Council.

The decision was an escalation of the hostilities between the two parties that traces back to last year’s Selangor mentri besar crisis, but is largely rooted in the fundamental differences between the Islamist PAS and secular DAP, particularly over issues like hudud.

Since the election, DAP leaders have been challenging their PAS colleagues in the Penang and Selangor administrations to relinquish their posts and leave the government.

PKR, on the other hand, has offered to act as mediator between the two warring parties, saying it is necessary to keep the PR pact intact.
