Malaysian MP Syed Saddiq's corruption conviction has left him in a difficult political position, but his youthful optimism and determination are noted. The divided public reaction to his case highlights the fragmented political landscape in Malaysia. Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS) is focused on capturing federal power on its own, rejecting offers to join the Unity Government. The party is deepening its community roots, particularly in the northeast of West Malaysia. PAS aims to win over non-Malays and non-Muslim voters in the upcoming general election, but faces challenges in doing so due to its extreme image and association with religious-based rules.
