PAS' image plunged, reveals study

KUALA LUMPUR: The image of PAS has plunged despite its success in last year's general election, a study on the party leadership revealed.
The study, on the people's faith in the party leadership, was conducted by Dr Abu Hassan Hasbullah of Zentrum Future Studies.
The study was conducted on 2100 respondents who were separated in three age groups.
It found that 633 respondents, in the 21 to 30 age group, losing faith in the party leadership. Only 67 respondents believed in the leadership.
In the 31 to 40 years group, 519 people answered negatively while 181 answered positively.
“This means only 181 people from that particular age group say that PAS will move forward with the existing leadership,” said Dr Abu Hassan at a seminar to strengthen the party organised by PAS on Saturday.
Meanwhile, a total of 751 people aged between 41 and 50 years answered negatively and 396 answered positively.
Dr Abu Hassan said another shocker was that most of those who answered negatively from the 41-50 years age group were from the east coast and northern states.
The east coast has always been regarded as a PAS stronghold.
“The leadership as well as delegates in this seminar need to pay attention to this. Most of the positive answers were actually from Sabah and Sarawak,” he said.
The leadership of party president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang was also not spared.
For the age group of 21-30 years, a total of 493 answered negatively on Abdul Hadi’s leadership while 207 people answered positively.
For those in the 31-40 year group, 539 answered negatively as opposed to a small group of 161 who answered positively.
However, for those aged 41-50 years old, 383 answered negatively compared to 317 who answered positively.
Dr Abu Hassan said the rather balanced views from those aged between 41 and 50 years could be that they were more experienced in politics as elders in the party.
“But the two younger generations (those of 21-30 years and 31-40 years) appear very aggressive and dependent on their perception,” he said.

tunku : those in sabah and sarawak who gave most of the positive answers doesn't really know what is pas.those in peninsular would know pas very well. they know that pas is not what it used to be.of course the older generation will gives positive feed back as they are the hardcore supporters,come what may, they will still support pas.the younger generation are different.pas is out of date party for the moment.do you see any of their pakatan partners helping them? only three of them, yet so hard to be united.it was pas who helped pakatan wins so many seats last GE but they are treated like "dogs" by pkr and dap.

Tunku, Agreed! It was Pas who struggle so hard to win so many seats for DAP & PKR. Both DAP & PKR have no strong machinery. So, they use Pas since they know that Pas has a strong one. It's time for Pas to reconsider its position in Pakatan. The findings shows that most of the respondents urged Pas not to form any kind of cooperation with PKR & DAP. I believe that Pas (Hadi) will listen to this findings by rejecting Zaid's idea (forming Pakatan Rakyat as a registed party). Nik Aziz for sure is in favor with Zaid's idea. Pas is going to have another dilemma and crisis. Just wait and see.
