Was PAS officially invited to the PN opposition meeting?

Question

Accepted Answer

PAS's Attendance at the PN Opposition Meeting

PAS has indicated that their president, Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang, was unable to attend a recent meeting chaired by Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin due to prior commitments. While the meeting involved leaders from several opposition parties, it remains unclear whether PAS received an official invitation.
Abdul Hadi's Prior Engagements

Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man, the deputy president of PAS, stated that Abdul Hadi had a pre-existing engagement that prevented his attendance at the gathering. Tuan Ibrahim mentioned that the Marang MP was scheduled to attend a programme that had been arranged much earlier, suggesting a conflict in his itinerary. The specific nature of this prior commitment was not detailed.
Communication Within PAS Regarding the Meeting

PAS Youth chief Afnan Hamimi Taib Azamudden reportedly stated that he was not informed about the meeting. This suggests a potential gap in communication regarding the event within the party. However, Afnan also indicated that the party's senior leadership might have been aware of the meeting and generally supports such initiatives aimed at opposition unity.
Likelihood of PAS Participation if Invited

Afnan Hamimi Taib Azamudden conveyed that PAS would likely have participated in the meeting if an invitation had been extended. He suggested that the presence of PAS leadership could have lent greater significance to the discussions. Nevertheless, PAS was not represented at the meeting, which was convened by Muhyiddin to discuss the formation of a coalition focused on national interests and to strengthen the opposition's check and balance role.
