PAS is Doomed to repeat its Mistake.

The last time PAS joined B.N in the coalition govt it left in acrimonious circumstances.Till today the bitterness and anger that had evolved during that period has left the spiritual guru, Nik aziz , adamant that never again should PAS joined hands to form the Govt with UMNO.To him putting the same hands twice in the hole to be bitten by the snake was unforgiveable.

PAS is doomed to suffer the same fate it suffered in Trengganu in 1999 when it lost Trengganu to the B.N. PAS President should be held accountable for the lost as much as Nik Aziz should be credited with the Kelantan's PAS victory.It was Abdul Hadi's arroggance that was the cause of PAS downfall. Even in the march 2008 election when B.N was at its weakest, PAS under Hadi could not even wrest Trengganu from the corrupt and divided UMNO when Pakatan Raykat managed to wrest five States from the B.N.

PAS victory in many of the seats it contested was because for the first time in its electoral campaigns, non-malays votes was crucial for its success. And non-malay votes were generously given to PAS because they were totally against the corrupt UMNO and B.N's Govt machinery.The anger against B.N translated into votes for PAS and other opposition candidates.That in essence explains the phenomenal success of PAS, PKR and DAP electoral campaigns that finally deprived the B.N Govt losing its two-third majority in Parliament and losing Five States to the Pakatan Rakyat coalition.

Now its President Hadi and Deputy seems to have short term memories of its previous dally with UMNO and are considering a unity Govt where presumably the PAS President would be rewarded with a minor Ministerial position.But PAS under Hadi would be foolish to think that under a Unity Govt with B.N their current popularity could be sustained in the next 13th General Election.It is most likely that any Unity Govt with B.N would spell disaster and contribute to the demise of its popularity with the non-malays.

But like the popular saying, those people who failed to learn from history are condemned or doomed to repeat the same mistake.And in this case, PAS under Hadi is doomed to repeat the same mistake again.
