Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said negotiations between PAS and Umno will continue so long as they have not failed.

The talks have put PAS in a difficult spot, as Umno wants the Islamist party to sever ties with Bersatu and Perikatan Nasional.

PAS, however, has continued to insist that all three parties should be united.

Asked if the talks have failed, Ismail Sabri - who is an Umno vice-president - said they are still ongoing.
