"As before we are not disbanding (DUN), but there maybe changes.

"We will discuss it soon because it is the party's decision that determines whether they will be dissolved simultaneously with Parliament or not," he told reporters after officiating the closing ceremony of "Ijtimak Pondok Se-Malaysia at Pusat Pengajian Pondok Yayasan Islam Kelantan (YIK), Kandis, here. yesterday.

Earlier, Pas secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan said the PAS-led state governments would not dissolve their respective state assemblies earlier than March 2023.

Commenting on the resolution of Ijtimak Pondok Se-Malaysia which calls for all candidates in the upcoming election to consist of individuals who do not spread the Wahhabi beliefs and teachings, Idris who is also Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) said the proposal will be studied by the leadership.

"We will take such views and suggestions to the party. It is up to the leadership to decide later," he said. - BERNAMA
