The sole progressive PAS leader elected into leadership has resigned from the party with immediate effect.<\/p>\n

Central committee member Mazlan Aliman, who also heads the\u00a0non-governmental organisation ANAK\u00a0(which represents Felda settlers), said his resignation was spurred by the overwhelming number of the conservatives at the party\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n

\u201cI admit that the resignation had to do more or less with the losses faced by my (progressive) friends (at the party elections) which hurt deeply.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a black mark throughout my 30-year involvement in the party,\u201d he said at the press conference at the PAS party headquarters today.<\/p>\n

According to the former PAS Youth Chief, he intends to focus on ANAK, a movement founded by him.
\nDespite the resignation, Mazlan remains a PAS member.<\/p>\n

During the recent PAS elections (2015-2017) held last week, Mazlan acquired 593 votes and was ranked 14th out of 18 positions.<\/p>\n

Mazlan said that he feels affected by the crisis faced by the Islamic party; one that is challenging, which requires great patience.<\/p>\n

He added that despite his continued commitment to ANAK, PAS\u2019s internal strife has been a significant burden on him.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there are allegations that the latest elections were predetermined using a \u2018cai\u2019 (list), it would surely be embarrassing \u2013 that we are no longer leaders chosen based on work performance,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
