Loh Ker CheanGUEST
and also a few states after that, and also now our federal government.

Jason WeeHOST
And then after your experience with that, you went to work at the Selangor State Assembly as a research officer, right? From the outside, I think for our listeners, working in the executive in ministries and working in the legislative can perhaps look a lot like the same job.

So in order for them to feel that they are an equal partner, they need more seats under their belt.
Rich BradburyHOST
Ben, we know PAS has also spoken about expanding in Selangor, Perak and Pahang.
Rich BradburyHOST
How compatible are those ambitions with the compromises needed for closer cooperation with UMNO?

Ibrahim SofianGUEST

Ibrahim SofianGUEST
PAS is in the opposition.
Ibrahim SofianGUEST
UMNO is in the state government, but their seat share is very small.
Ibrahim SofianGUEST

Teckwyn LimSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So if people in the Klang Valley realize that the Selangor state government is partly to blame for the haze, then perhaps we could create some progress in that they could At the very least, force the farmers who are operating inside the forest reserve to operate a zero-burning policy.
Teckwyn LimSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
