From the perspective of a non who just observed matters since the 80's, its more like UMNO/BN
*opened* the road to islamization but ended up PAS benefitted from it. Establishing Jakim, islamization of govt structure, increasing religion in sekolah kebangsaan, mushrooming religious schools instead of curbing them, etc, all that actually played into PAS' hands. Ppl gets radicalized, then PAS just need to say "UMON parti kapiaq, kami lah parti pejuang Islam!" and they all joined PAS as champions Islam.
Same as what's happening now, Anwar tries to champion palestine (sampai lah PM palestine/Hamas), cosplay in sekolah kebangsaan, not curbing extremism & intolerance for fear of offending the malay muslim votes, all that and does the malay muslim votes comes back to PH? No, it was PAS who gains more votes
Well I won't comment on who benefited more back then, just sharing my grandfather's take and clarifying even if it wasn't political it would've happened eitherway sooner or later.
Speaking as somebody who do not trust Anwar ever since what he & Rafizi did to the late Tan Sri Khalid,
he's on too much of trust deficit with the bumi to ever get back to zero, much less become positive.That is considering if he even do a great job during this term, which evidently he's not.
Don't get me wrong, I want him to do good too cause he's the PM that we got for now (the same way I felt about all the previous PMs), but he is who he is.
Nons underestimated how much we've pretty much labelled him as a snake / chameleon, but I guess you guys are finding that out right now.
I used to highlight this but kena label macai PN, so I just senyap and let his true nature come out for all to see.
