No political cooperation between PAS and Amanah - Abdul Hadi

While the Islamic party was prepared to work with an opponent party, Abdul Hadi said PAS will never work with Amanah, which is regarded as traitors to the party, Utusan Malaysia reported.

Abdul Hadi said PAS’s stand is in line with the Prophet of not offering a second chance to those who had betrayed Islamic struggles.

The Marang member of Parliament also called the splinter party members as opportunists, if they wish to form political cooperation with PAS.

“They are looking for opportunity, not in line with our Islamic struggles,” he was quoted by the daily.

Amanah was previously known as Gerakan Harapan Baru, a movement created by former PAS professional leaders who lost in the party's muktamar last May.

In his effort to get the new party registered, former PAS deputy president Mohamad Sabu, popularly known as Mat Sabu, had taken over an existing political party – Malaysian Workers' Party – and rebranded it as Amanah.

On Wednesday, thousands of supporters attended the launch of Amanah in Shah Alam.

Amanah secretary-general Anuar Tahir said up till Tuesday, a total of 30,018 new members had registered to join the party, with the majority of them from Kelantan, followed by Johor and Selangor.

Registrar of Society (RoS) meanwhile had said the Malaysian Workers' Party is prohibited from carrying out any activities or program under Amanah's name until RoS has officially approved the name change.
