“The relationship with PAS, all members of the supreme council feel that we need to cooperate with PAS for the benefit of the ummah.

“The negotiations between the president and the committee we have formed were so that we can see the outcome in terms of discussions with PAS,” he said, referring to Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
