Congratulations to PAS! Students in the UK have long awaited for the arrival of a PAS representative now that the party has announced that it will set up Nadi PAS in the UK. This is a very brave step forward for PAS and a very positive development for Malaysian democracy.

However, I fear that this announcement will remain o­nly an announcement. Umno and its machinery, especially the Malaysian Students Department, will never allow Nadi PAS to be registered.

True democracy is too scary for them even though they are living in a democratic society like the UK. In fact, my fear may have already become a reality.

It has been quite some time and there is zilch news about Nadi PAS. Was it a mere political rhetoric from PAS?
