KUALA LUMPUR, June 18 — Senior PAS leaders today asked Nasharudin Mat Isa to meet Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat to resolve the misunderstanding between them over unity talks with Umno, in a sign that the three-term deputy president has failed to obtain the support of the Islamist party's central leadership.
Newly-elected vice-presidents Salahudin Ayub and Datuk Mahfuz Omar urged Nasharudin to face the party spiritual leader before the central working committee convenes a special meeting next week.
Yesterday the Kelantan mentri besar asked Nasharudin to leave the party and resign as Bachok MP for responding positively to unity talks with Umno.
Nik Aziz had previously called those who are in favour of forming unity government as Umno's puppets.
“At this stage it is best for Ustaz Nasharudin to meet Tuan Guru Nik Aziz, I will make my views known at the special meeting,” Salahudin told reporters.
Mahfuz said he has been trying to contact Nasharudin, who was absent from Parliament today, to tell him to personally meet Nik Aziz to clear the air.
“I was hoping for him to attend so that we can sit down and talk about the matter, but he did not, maybe he is under pressure,” said Mahfuz.
“I tried calling him this morning, but he was unreachable, so I send him a text message as a friend hoping that he will meet Tuan Guru Nik Aziz,” he added.
Mahfuz believed that Nik Aziz's outburst yesterday was not motivated by hatred.
“He said that out of love and his interest in Nasharudin's future as a PAS leader,” he added.
Nasharudin has been under pressure since the general election last year for his role in clandestine Malay unity talks with Umno.
His main challenger during the party election early this month, Datuk Husam Musa, accused Nasharudin of being “too liberal with Umno.”

Having 19 years administering Kelantan, Tok Guru knows all the JIJIK tactics by UMNO in order to remain in power. Bila dah kuat balik, nyah lah kau (PAS) dari aku.
Mind you, Tok Guru speaks from his heart....that's why he commands respect from the grassroot.
Nasha is just a KUDETA of "U Must Not Object (UMNO)".
If his mission accomplished (porak perandakan PAS & PR), RM50 juta masuk Swiss Account!
He can join the 3 Perak Kataks!

They are far better off and will have a better grip on the affairs of state by throwing out the present regime bthrough coperation with the DAP and PKR.This must sink in to the PAS rank and file and its deviant top leaders in PAS who are thinking only of themselves, one or two maybe becoming Ministers etc with UMNO cover will slowly loose support.UMNO has and will give nothing to PAS.Malay unity is rubbish.What UMNO is saying is that 'look if you come along with us we can share some of the goodies with you '!!

Just like men going through mid life crisis, thinking they know what they are doing, they insist on their reasons and boundaries, falling into the trap and losing all sense of logic. Are you enjoying the air time Nasha that you never got before this?
Honesty and perseverance. That's what makes Tuan Guru Nik Aziz an exemplary character that attracts Muslims and non-Muslims.
Nasha and Hadi, where is the honesty and perseverance and exemplary character of Muslims that you should be demonstrating? At the moment, I can only see arrogance on Hadi and I never expected gullibility from Nasharuddin.

Only stupid mindless people will agree to it.
What will most likely happen is that BN, when in trouble, will welcome anyone and everyone with open arms and agree to any and every conditions to enable it to prolong its existence until they can recover its strength. Once it regains its strength, it will drain their unity partner and bled them until they are dry, suck all the "juice" off their memberships and spit out the beleaguered partners once they are drained dry.
How could a small party like PAS hope to be able to influence the direction or policies of the government is beyond anyone's guess. In terms of representatives, they are vastly outnumbered. Once admitted into the coalition, they will only survive on "charity" given by the UMNO warlords until such time when they become too much of a pain in the neck with their demands and they will be booted out again - history has a tendency to repeat itself when the players ignores the fundamentals of their undertakings!
Once PAS takes the bait, then, PAS will no longer be a relevant nor a threat to UMNO because the opposition supporters will no longer trust PAS and a significant numbers of its leaders and memberships will move away from it. When PAS gets ignored or mistreated within BN coalition, they will have no choice but to accept their destiny because they will become irrelevant if they then choose to terminate the unity government as they have already spent the goodwill of their ex-supporters and the general public for back-stabbing their partners in PR. If PAS remains within the coalition they will once again be treated like prostitutes or step-child of the "family" because they can no longer command the power they once used to when they were with PR.
It seems that TG Nik Aziz is wise to their tricks and overtures whereas the other two are still starry-eyed with what could have been!

True ot not , you observe yourself lah.
See for yourself , where can MCA or MIC or PBS etc ... are allow to say anything other than working like a "DONKEYS" during election.
Sudah lah UMNOPutra , Jagan tipu Rakyat lagi. Taktik ini tak laku lagi , Kami lebih percaya Syaitan dari kamu.
Ini NASA ada lah bodoh punya orang, mungkin dia ada agenda peribadi yang tersembunyi.
Nanti kita Rakyat terlanjang dia masa GE 13.
