Faezuddin Puad, Pakatan Harapan's Kempas candidate, has called on Bersatu supporters to protest PAS by casting their votes for PH in the Johor state election. Puad argues that PAS's directive for its members to support Barisan Nasional (BN) in seats not contested by Perikatan Nasional (PN) reveals internal strife within the opposition. He believes PAS has "betrayed Bersatu" within the PN coalition and advises Bersatu voters to consider the broader implications of their choices, emphasizing the importance of party policies and a realistic path to government rather than solely focusing on individual candidates. This sentiment arises amidst a complex electoral landscape where PAS and former Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin have urged support for BN.
