00:00A political analyst said former UMNO youth leader Khairi Jamaluddin will abandon his principles if he follows Zaid Ibrahim's advice and joins PAS.
00:12Syaza Shukri from the International Islamic University of Malaysia agrees with the former Minister of Law's suggestion that competing under PAS may give Khairi the best chance to win the election.
00:26However, PAS does not reflect Khairi's political idealism and he should enjoy his freedom now as a co-host of Keluar Sekejap.
00:37Last week, Zaid suggested that Khairi should join PAS if he wants to return to the political arena because the party offers the best route for him to return to parliament.
00:48Another analyst, Asrul Hadi Abdullah Sani said there was no need for Khairi to announce the next step.
00:56With his involvement in the podcast and appearances on STATION RADIO, Asrul argued that Khairi did not need to immediately declare his political goal and open up space for personal attacks.
01:08However, Asrul and Syaza agreed that PAS will benefit if Khairi joins the party as he can be used to attract more support from the local voters, not the Malays.
