(The New Straits Times) - KUANTAN: Pas, which is confident that it will win again in Kelantan, the only opposition-held state in the country, said it will also wrest Terengganu and Kedah in the next general election.
{mosgoogle right} Its president, Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang, also predicted that Pas and the two other main opposition parties, the DAP and Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), would win the "hot seats" in several states, including Selangor and Penang.
And if the opposition wrested control of the federal government, Hadi promised that Malaysia would become "a nation of charity".
"We will focus on the welfare of the poor and senior citizens. We can do this as we will scrap all mega projects that only enrich a few people."
Hadi confirmed that the three opposition parties -- Pas, DAP and PKR -- had a pact that Pas would focus on Malay-majority seats and would ensure a one-on-one contest with the ruling Barisan Nasional. Pas, he said, had an arrangement with PKR, and PKR had a pact with the DAP.
The DAP has said it will not work with Pas as the party championed an Islamic state.
But the roundabout agreement points to a pact between all three.
"We will ensure a straight fight in every seat. We are ready and the ulama (consultative) committee is expected to approve the list of Pas candidates on Tuesday," Hadi said.
Hadi was in Pahang in his nationwide campaign ahead of what many perceive could be an early general election.
At the same ceramah, Pas information chief Mahfuz Omar claimed that the opposition would reduce the price of petrol and other essential items.
"We promise that a litre of petrol will be at least 30 sen cheaper than the present price."
However, he did not explain how a Pas-led government would handle the ballooning subsidies of more than RM35 billion.
The subsidies for petrol and other essential items have placed a strain on government finances.

Simple, stop all mega projects that only enrich a few UMNO/BN people. Audit all past mega purchases of military and other mega projects. seal and recover all unlawful commissions and corruption money taken by UMNO/BN leader in country and overseas. Petronas profit will have to subsidies part of the consumer oil in country. Every UMNO/BN leader will have to declare their asset and to make sure every sen of what they have must be justified from their hard earned income. Amend the law if any one try to defeat the law by concealing their asset to a third part or proxy, maximum sentence like life imprisonment should be imposed. all suspect BN leaders and cronies should be barred from going overseas until their name are cleared.
Many more can be done. Malaysia is a rich country, evey citizen must be able to share the cake, not only the few rich elites.
