PAS congratulates Trump on his historic election win
Specifically, PAS, represented by its Information Chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari, issued a statement to extend its congratulations to Trump on his re-election as President of the United States and wished him good luck.
Fadhli, who is also the Member of Parliament (MP) for Pasir Mas, acknowledged that PAS is an opposition party in Malaysia with no direct connection with the US Presidential campaign.
However, PAS still hope that the US President-elect will prioritise a peace-oriented agenda, as Trump himself has emphasised during his campaign.

The political party also hoped that with Trump’s victory, the world would experience a term free from global conflicts, with Trump fostering stability and international understanding.
