PAS’ previous general election losses have taught the party to avoid alienating certain voter segments in its campaigns, said its newly elected vice-president Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar.
Despite Umno and PAS being two of the largest Malay-Muslim parties, and the possibility of contesting the 15th general election together, Samsuri insisted that PAS still views engagement with non-Malay voters as well as voters in Sabah and Sarawak as a key point which must be addressed.
"To take over Putrajaya will require support from various segments of voters - from different races, different age groups, different levels of education.
"We have learned in past elections what would happen if a certain segment of voters did not have a proper understanding about us, and we will take it as a key point for GE15," said the Terengganu menteri besar during a press conference today at the 65th PAS convention in Sukpa Indoor Stadium, Kuantan.
