Mat Sabu, an asset to PAS?





Fiery Mat Sabu won Pas Deputy President Post today. This is a major upset for the three -term former deputy president Nasharuddin. The former deputy president did not expect to lose as party tradition had always returned the incumbent.



Mat Sabu's unexpected victory caught political analysts by surprised as they thought he would not had any chance to hold the second most powerful position in the party. He is no ulama and really just the party's gladiator to drive donation and woo voters at ceramahs.



This unprecedented development may also force the party to relook at the future plans cause for the first time, the have a senior leader with "tarnished" image. How Mat Sabu will be featured by the party will be interesting as they have to be on the look out at UMNO which will exploit the issue to the hilt.
