This the the dilemma faced by PAS.
Majority of the members want change. They want PAS to be more Malaysian.
They wish to see PAS to be mainstream.
They also elected a majority of leaders whom are reform and change minded.
Unfortunately, hiding behind the mask of religion and the ulama badge there exists a minority hanging on to it's last breath.
The saying "wounded tiger" rings true for this minority.
They have lost every legitimacy or justification to determine the direction save for their ability to understand religion.
It so also happens the President is part of this minority.
They know they are fighting for their survival
They are the sidelines of society.
If it wouldn't for PAS, no one in the society would take them seriously
They belong to the fringe of society and closer to the working class rather than the elite.
PAS is the only shot they have to aim at being among the elites.
Using religious edicts and sentiments they scare the PAS's rank and file into supporting their agenda and themselves.
Painting a picture of eternal damnation upon those who resist them, they are able to cow the PAS rank and file into supporting them.
On the other hand the majority among the PAS rank and file are plagued with coward leaders.
The so call reformists are very much afraid even to raise an eye brow against the President for fear of being labelled as heretics and disbelievers.
Even the great Khalid Samad could've done more but submits to the general feeling of cowardice.
In a healthy political party, a President who goes against the decision of the Central Committee would not last more than a month.
But in PAS, the President acts as if nothing happened. Thanks to the cowardice of the majority the President of PAS is enjoying life backstabbing everybody in Malaysia and making plans to form government with UMNO.
Until the reformists can overcome this mental block and put their total faith in Allah then no change will happen in PAS.
This will eventually lead to the break up of Pakatan Rakyat, the destruction of opposition resistance, the abolishment of any hope of signinficant change in Malaysia and not to mention the resurrection of UMNO's dominance.
After all, the President of PAS is more UMNO then Islamic nowadays. The days of labeling UMNO as kafirs are long over. Now, UMNO is the saviour of Malays and the Malay dominance.
I guess no matter how Islamic a Malay tries to be, in the end he will always end up being a Malay. And the mark of a good Malay is obedience and cowardice.
So long Malaysia.
Tulang Besi has lost hope of any significant change happening in Malaysia.
The end of the road would be a total Malaysia collapse just like Indonesia and decades of endless sufferings that follows.
I am just looking for an opportunity to migrate to another country.
