Reason 2 - MAHATHIR AND PAS

Mahathir is not a union leader, but he is a master of "divide and rule", it is a way of survival for the political survival: Mahathir is an expert to divide the Malays.

PAS had to sacrifice their faces to Mahathir temporarily for the sake of the people of Terengganu and Kelantan.

In the early 1990s, when Kelantan fell into the hands of PAS in the GE-8, Mahathir had tightened the federal government's allocation to Kelantan state to below 1% to punish Kelantan PAS government.

When PAS becomes stronger in the 1990s, Mahathir has made the delineation of constituencies in 1999 and 2003.

Therefore, if Mahathir is invited and admitted to UMNO, it will put an end to the unity of the ummah from within UMNO and PAS itself.

Mahathir will thwart UMNO and PAS cooperation, and eventually the DAP will be more profitable.Mahathir would not suddenly wake up one day and turn into a unity of the Ummah anyway, it was not in his instincts.As long as Mahathir lives, he will ensure that the Malays will not be united so that he will continue to rule.That's why PKR, the party that has been solidly championing Anwar Ibrahim's release, is now being split in Mahathir's hands.This is also why during the Mahathir era, PAS and UMNO were badly hostile. Mahathir has been in conflict with Nik Aziz and Fadzil Noor until the end of their lives.UMNO only cooperates with PAS closely after Mahathir left UMNO and during Najib's time as President of UMNO.I understand that now PAS has to face Mahathir for the oil royalty of Terengganu and Kelantan.If the Terengganu and Kelantan PAS governments do not cooperate with the Federal Government to get oil royalty, the people of Kelantan and Terengganu will be depressed with the constraints of narrow state government allocations.But in my opinion, although PAS is dealing with Mahathir now, PAS has never believed in Mahathir.It is not easy to forget Mahathir's wounds, slaps and humiliation over PAS all this time with just a twinkle. PAS is not that stupid.As a result, Kelantan's economy has not grown and many job opportunities are lost and Kelantan people are depressed.As a result, there has been a mass migration of Kelantan people to Selangor and Kuala Lumpur to find employment in the early 90s due to the Kelantan economy which is murky because of Mahathir's actions on PAS and the people of Kelantan.Although Mahathir was to weaken PAS, but the opposite has happened: PAS is pressed again, yet they fight and be strong.Although Mahathir undermined the financial strength of PAS, he could not undermine the ideological power of their struggle.PAS is not a worldly party that emphasizes the ringgit but it has ideological power based on Islam and the happiness of the hereafter.The number of Malay majority voters has been reduced and coupled with non-Malay voters in many parliamentary constituencies so PAS can not win many parliamentary and state constituencies even though they have strong influence.This will happen again.Mahathir and PAS have a long history of injury, which can not be overlooked overnight.This is what PH wants and their subtle ways to thwart the unity of the ummah between UMNO and PAS, so PH and DAP can continue to rule.Now they use Mahathir again.
