Abstract

In Malaysia, tahaluf siyasi (TS) is happening at the state and federal levels. The word TS here means the cooperation between two or more parties to achieve the same objective and not violating the Islamic shari'ah at the same time. There are two political parties called to implement the TS. First, Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS); and secondly, United Malays National Organization (UMNO). PAS used the TS strategy to cooperate with People's Justice Party (PKR), while UMNO collaborate with the National Front (BN). This TS's idea and implementation is inspired so that the both political parties can shows they are bringing the image of Islam. The idea and the implementation of TS is develop accordance to effectiveness of thought regarding the TS strategy in both political parties. Referring to the ideas of these parties, TS shows synonymous with PAS because of two matters. First, PAS's policy; and second, PAS as an Islamic movement. Therefore, this article aims to identifying TS's thought in PAS and to analyze the implications of this thought against the Malaysia's development. The identification in this article also has been done using the library research and in-depth interview. Meanwhile, the analysis is performed using the method of content analysis. As a result, there are only two ways of PAS when it comes to TS thought. First, the way to preach; and second, the way to fight their common enemy which is BN. From here, we can see the two-way thinking is indirectly do not affect the development in this country. However, these are three implications from PAS thought about their TS is effected indirectly to the development of this country. First, PAS can be under the central government based on the federalism; second, the declaration of Welfare State by PAS; and third, PAS is opening the economic opportunities for non-Muslims.
