PAS election director Mustafa Ali said they were confident of gaining at least one or two seats out of the 11 contested.
“We’re not going to win all 11 seats. But God willing, we’ll get our firstborn here. God willing, it could be one firstborn, or twins, in Sarawak,” he told a press conference at the PAS headquarters here today.
Mustafa added that out of the 11 contenders, one of them would be a non-Muslim and a member of the PAS Supporters’ Assembly (DHPP).
“All our contenders are local. One of them is even a member of DHPP,” he said.
On another matter, PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said the statement by PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang that Christian evangelists spread their teachings through money to draw the public to Christianity was a non-issue.
“The issue of insulting Christianity does not arise, as some have tried to make out of the president’s statement,” he said, adding that what Hadi described was the reality and a situation that occurred globally.
He added that the issue was intentionally blown up to wreck PAS’s image in the face of the party contesting in the Sarawak elections.
