00:00PKR's Taufik Johari accused Perikatan Nationale of attempting to portray itself as a unifier of

00:08the Malay community following a PAS leader's defense of Dr. Mahathir Mohamad's new alliance

00:13aimed at restoring Malay power in the government. In a statement, Taufik said both Mahathir and PAS

00:20had divided the community many times before. He said Mahathir had quit UMNO to form Bersatu and

00:26then Pudjuang, all three of them Malay-based parties. He said PAS meanwhile had broken up

00:32Muafakat Nationale, an alliance between the Islamic party and UMNO, the country's two largest Malay

00:38Muslim parties. He said PAS Deputy President Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man's support for Mahathir's call

00:45for a new coalition was a desperate and provocative act. Last night, Tuan Ibrahim said Mahathir's

00:52new platform was key to uniting the Malays, arguing that the proliferation of political parties

00:58enabled by the democratic system was a key cause of disunity within the community.

01:04On Wednesday, Mahathir announced a new loose coalition, which would include PAS and Bersatu

01:09to rally the Malays in an effort to save the community from what he described as political

01:14and economic decline.
