PERIKATAN Nasional (Perikatan) is discussing a proposal by PAS to use its own logo in the 15th general election (GE15), its secretary-general Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin said.
He said logo usage is part of the coalition’s strategies for GE15.
“The matter is still under discussion at the highest level… the results of the discussion will be announced later,” Hamzah stated.
Hamzah was speaking to reporters at a banquet event held in Kampung Anak Kurau in Larut, Perak, yesterday.
On Friday, PAS spiritual leader Hashim Jasin hinted that the party would use its own logo in GE15.
He was quoted as saying that the image of the moon on the party’s logo has been known to symbolise “clean” and that they were confident it would give an advantage to the candidates as the logo has been known for 70 years.
Meanwhile, Hamzah declined to comment when asked about the offer made by Perak PAS commissioner Razman Zakaria to Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman to defend the Pasir Salak MP seat in GE15.
This was after Tajuddin was removed from the Umno supreme council.
“Anyone can give an opinion or make such offers and to me, it (the offer) was just a suggestion.
“All final decisions will be up to the leadership so I do not need to comment on the matter,” Hamzah said.
On reports that PAS wanted to speed up GE15, Hamzah said it could be expedited if all parties, were ready, including the people. – June 26, 2022
