About this episode
The episode discusses the end of PAS's cooperation with Bersatu and its implications for Malaysian politics as the next election approaches.
PAS has ended its cooperation with Bersatu, the party it founded Perikatan Nasional with six years ago, although Bersatu's President Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin insists on keeping the coalition intact. Dr Azmil Tayeb, a political scientist at Universiti Sains Malaysia, discusses how these developments might reshape Malaysian politics as GE16 draws nearer.
