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.

Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali's political secretary Shuhaimi Shafiei said the state government had no intention to follow the footsteps of Penang government by changing the name of the Selangor Pakatan Rakyat government, adding that the move by Penang was contrary to the mandate given by the voters during the last general elections.

Selangor PAS commissioner Datuk Iskandar Abdul Samad said now that the political situation had become a reality, the most important thing for PAS now was not to neglect the voters and renege on the promises it made to them.

PAS deputy president Datuk Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man pointed out that for his party, Pakatan Rakyat was still in existence.
