PAS Perlis confident in self-governance after Sanusi rebuke

The PAS chapter in Perlis has expressed confidence in its ability to handle party matters autonomously, according to state leadership. Solahudin Azmi said the party has matured sufficiently during its tenure under a temporary management committee to assume full responsibility for state-level operations.

The assertion comes after what party sources characterize as a warning from party head Sanusi, signaling tensions within the party structure. The temporary administrative framework has been in place for more than half a year, during which time Perlis PAS officials say they have consolidated their administrative and organizational capabilities.

The move reflects broader dynamics within PAS as it seeks to strengthen governance at the state level. Officials in Perlis are positioning the party to operate with greater autonomy while remaining aligned with broader party directives. The transition signals an effort to balance local decision-making authority with central party oversight.
