PAS Ulama Council Chief Datuk Ahmad Yahya is now getting a taste of social media fame with criticism from netizens after he urged Prime Minister (PM) Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to emulate former premier Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s calm and less controversial administration, even in dealing with the opposition.
Most of the netizens who debated on the issue were not too keen to support the PAS man’s views after he praised an UMNO ex-PM. For the most part, users were poking fun at the opposition party’s approach to solving problems in their states.
Ahmad Yahya on the other hand, noted Ismail’s ‘success’ in maintaining peace and engaging with the opposition, resulting in fewer issues compared to the current state of affairs.
One netizen on X said Anwar or PMX offered to start negotiations with opposition leaders on some pertinent issues (allowances for MPs) but they ended up declining the offer.
PMX ajak berbincang pun korg tak nak. BTW ismail sabri sebenarnya bukan rai kan pembangkang masa tu tetapi dia takut hilang sokongan.
Dari statement org PAS ni, terbukti mahiaddin tak bg peruntukan kpd pembangkang.

Some are saying the PAS is very funny since the party believes in running the country like they did for 33 months.
Masa pak mail, pembangkang bagi kerjasama, peruntukan diperolehi melalui perbincangan dengan kerajaan. Sekarang ni pembangkang buat2 tak tahu. Taknak kerjasama. Main isu 3R. Dah sampai tahap baling bom, baru nk keluar statement “pas tak sokong boikot kk mart”. Pnt walaun main isu

Others are blaming the opposition party for what is happening in the country. They claim that PAS and other opposition parties played on racial issues in the country, and now, when the situation escalates, they take no part in it.
They added that during Ismail’s time, the opposition of the time, PH, worked together with the government and some state that Sabri was too slow a PM. – March 31, 2024

Siapa je yg nak pemimpin bangang dan slow mcm ni. Dgn muka penyu dgn lembab dgn hubungan antarabangsa serupa lebai pas bangang. Mmg la stabil sebab pembangkang time tu semua betlapang dada dan bukan jenis cari gaduh mcm lebai2 penunggang babi
