"Taking back the Gombak parliamentary seat is 'wajib' for us," said Selangor PAS chief Sallehen Mukhyi today.
Sallehen said this when responding to a question following his announcement that Selangor PAS was ready to contest 42 out of 56 state seats in Selangor.
There are three state seats within the boundaries of the Gombak parliamentary constituency - Gombak Setia, Ulu Kelang and Batu Caves.
Of the three, PAS candidates won the election in Gombak Setia and Ulu Kelang, while Batu Caves went to a PKR candidate.
This indicates that Gombak has a sizeable PAS following.
Sallehen's announcement comes in the wake of efforts by several top PKR leaders, including Azmin, to forge an electoral pact with PAS ahead of the next general election.
Azmin had repeatedly stated that he was on a mission to ensure the opposition had straight fights with BN.
Really? For a man who already sees himself as the next PM of Malaysia, it's doubtful he hasn't have a trick or two up his sleeve.
Selangor PAS said it was "wajib (a responsibility)" to field candidates in Gombak, a parliamentary seat presently held by Selangor Menteri Besar and PKR deputy president Mohamed Azmin Ali.

I dare say the dwarf has already kowtim-rised the so-called threat to his seat in Gombak. Don't be surprised if the PAS candidate for Gombak finds himself "disqualified" on application day.
The dwarf has even gotten rid of the pseudo image he is ever loyal to Anwar where now he sees himself as the Pakatan PM-designate.
Far more interesting than the above bull, I am more interested in PAS declared intention to contest in 42 of the 56 state seats in Selangor. With the blessing of Allah swt we could get the first even PAS state government in Selangor.
However, I doubt His Almighty is that cruel to inflict such horrid punishment on us.
