Malaysia’s PAS will stab both Mahathir Mohamad and Muhyiddin Yassin in the back before either leader can do the same to the Islamist party, according to Umno supreme council member Puad Zarkashi.

In a Facebook post on Monday, Puas said: “[Mahathir] said Muhyiddin backstabbed him. After this both will stab PAS. But PAS will stab them first.”
He was commenting on an old video of Mahathir talking about the pain of being “backstabbed” by Perikatan Nasional chairman Muhyiddin for the prime minister’s post in 2020.
In the aftermath of the so-called Sheraton Move that toppled the Pakatan Harapan government in February 2020 and Mahathir’s departure from Bersatu – a party he founded with Muhyiddin – it appears as if the two former prime ministers have buried the hatchet.
