Joining PAS
On April 2013, Mat Taib joined PAS, a component party of Pakatan Rakyat. He was formally introduced by the party on 22 April 2013 (Monday) two days after the 13th General Election nomination day to avoid allegations that he took the step to be nominated in the general election. PAS is the only party that can lead Malaysia towards Islam, Mat Taib said.
Ironically, in previous statements Muhammad was a strong critic for the current Pakatan Rakyat led state of Selangor. He stated that Pakatan Rakyat Selangor, under the helm of the current Mentri Besar of Selangor Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim was losing grip of the state. He even stated that he believes that Saiful Bukhari Azlan, the accuser of Anwar Ibrahim sexual escapades was the real victims and no one is helping Saiful Bukhari.
