PAS is on the rise, but talk of a ‘green wave’ is premature

The Islamic party has been strategically astute and is likely to do well in the upcoming state elections. But major breakwaters stand in its path to dominating national politics.

After all, PAS emerged from Malaysia’s 15th general election (GE15) last year as its largest party.

Speculation is rife that there will be a second “green wave” effected by Parti Islam SeMalaysia (PAS) in the

upcoming state elections in Malaysia.

After all, PAS emerged from Malaysia’s 15th general election (GE15) in 2022

as its largest party.

With 43 seats out of 222 in Parliament, it more than doubled its 18 seats from the previous election. It even trounced the grand old party, Umno, which won only 26 seats.
