PAS information chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari said if the party was power-hungry, it would have ensured that one of its MPs was made the opposition leader. In a Facebook post, Fadhli said if the party was power-hungry, it would have also ensured that one of its MPs was made the opposition leader. Bersatu deputy president Hamzah Zainudin is the current opposition leader while party president Muhyiddin Yassin was the PN chairman until his resignation which took effect on Jan 1. The crisis saw Muhyiddin stepping down as PN chairman and PAS expressing its readiness to take over the reins of the opposition coalition. However, PAS leaders including president Abdul Hadi Awang and deputy Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man have denied the claim.
