MIRI, July 18 -- PAS is aiming to contest at least eight seats in the next Sarawak state election following a review of its performance in previous polls

Its Sarawak commissioner, Mohammad Arifiriazul Paijo, said the party began preparing its election machinery early this year in anticipation of the state election, which he expects to be held by the end of the year.

"In the 2016 state election, PAS contested 11 seats, while in the 2021 election we contested only one.
