PAS' intention to take legal action against the DAP led-Penang state government will only serve to prolong the feud between the two parties, said a political analyst.

PKR, DAP and PAS said today they did not support former Selangor menteri besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim to become the MB again in a bid to resolve the uncertainty in the state at this moment.

The pro-Pakatan PAS leaders and NGOs such as Persatuan Ummah Sejahtera Malaysia (PasMa) are in the midst of putting up a new political party which is expected to be registered after Hari Raya Puasa.

PAS' MP for Shah Alam Khalid Abdul Samad reiterated that the party liberals mission was to stay with Pakatan to bring down BN.

Is there any hope of PAS and the DAP patching up their differences? This is the question foremost in the minds of the people, especially political observers, following the decision by the two parties to break their ties with each other.

Perak DAP chairman Nga Kor Ming said although former menteri besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin did not have any party post within PAS, he was still recognized as the opposition leader inthe Perak state assembly.

The pro-Pakatan faction in PAS has urged the party leadership to consolidate the relationship between the party and Pakatan Rakyat, or the pro-Pakatan leaders would start a new political party to take over PAS' position in the opposition pact.

The Pakatan Rakyat split will bring bad implication if they rule the country as it will affect the confidence of foreign investors and the international community, said Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin.

On the chaos now reigning over both Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat, Umno veteran leader Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah believes this could shake up the existing political alliances in the country, as anything is possible in politics.

International Islamic University Malaysia legal advisor Prof. Dr. Nik Ahmad Kamal Nik Mahmod believes that a hung state assembly will not happen in Selangor because PAS still has faith in PKR deputy president cum Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali.
