Malaysia's Perikatan Nasional coalition faces test as PAS set to decide on ties with Bersatu

Malaysia's opposition coalition Perikatan Nasional is facing a crucial test, with the Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) set to decide on its future ties with the Bersatu party. Both PAS and Bersatu are the main pillars of Perikatan Nasional, but relations have become increasingly strained since former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin's resignation as coalition chairman last year. The rift deepened after PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang said the party would reassess its cooperation with Bersatu. The timing is especially sensitive, with Johor and Negeri Sembilan heading into state elections. CNA Senior Correspondent Melissa Goh reports from PAS' headquarters in Kuala Lumpur.
