KUALA LUMPUR: Pas yesterday opened its swanky new multi-million-ringgit national headquarters to mark what its leaders said was the party’s determination to maintain a central role in the opposition. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The seven-storey building in Jalan Raja Laut was officially opened by party spiritual adviser Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat.<\/p>\n

Present were Pas leaders, Parti Keadilan Rakyat adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and DAP central executive committee member Ronnie Liu, as well as representatives from several foreign embassies. <\/p>\n

Party officials declined to reveal details, but it is learnt that Pas bought the building for RM6.5 million.<\/p>\n

The price tag does not include the cost to refurbish the 17-year-old building, which used to house a bank.
The new Pas headquarters has plush offices.<\/p>\n

The party has been operating in the new premises since March. It will keep its old headquarters in Taman Melewar in Gombak as a training centre.<\/p>\n

Party treasurer Dr Hatta Ramli said money to buy the property came from party funds as well as donations from members and Pas supporters. <\/p>\n

Nik Aziz explained at a press conference why Pas had chosen the predominantly non-Muslim Jalan Raja Laut to house its new headquarters.<\/p>\n

He said the location fitted into the party’s plans to reach out to non-Muslims. <\/p>\n

"What’s so strange about the headquarters of an Islamic movement being in Jalan Raja Laut, a place where many residents are non-Muslim?<\/p>\n

"In fact, I’ve been praying for a long time that one day, the Chinese can become Pas leaders, because when the Chinese embraced Islam, they really learn about the religion, whereas some Malays are Muslims because they were born into the religion," said the Kelantan Menteri Besar. <\/p>\n

Party president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang also spoke about Pas’ desire to win over more non-Malay support. But he sidestepped a question on whether the party was willing to withdraw its Islamic state agenda, which the DAP is vehemently against. <\/p>\n
