ALOR SETAR, PAS has raised approximately RM5.86 million to fund the development of its new headquarters, which will be built on land near Putrajaya.

Treasurer Iskandar Abdul Samad said the majority of the funds were used to acquire the site, covering costs such as land purchase, taxes, legal and planning fees, and surveyor charges. After deductions, the party retains a balance of RM528,430. “For the first time in over two decades, PAS officially owns land under its name, held through a registered trustee,” he said when presenting the party’s financial report at its 71st muktamar.
According to Iskandar, the headquarters’ architectural design is in the final stages of preparation, with planning permission expected to be submitted by early next year. The project is slated for completion within three to four years. In the meantime, he noted that the land is already usable. “If necessary, we can even host the muktamar there in a tent, just as we once did in Johor,” he added.
PAS’s current headquarters is located along Jalan Raja Laut in Kuala Lumpur. The upcoming building is expected to feature a modern, futuristic design and include a convention hall.
Iskandar revealed that donations from Kelantan contributed the largest share of funds, followed by contributions from Terengganu and Selangor. He also confirmed that the party maintains a healthy cash balance of between RM700,000 and RM800,000. “Nearly half of our expenditure goes towards organising programmes. Money is meant to be used for the benefit of the people, not kept idle,” he stressed.
Looking ahead, PAS is banking on its monthly contribution initiative, the “Infaq Istiqamah” scheme. The party is targeting participation from at least 10% of its members, which could generate up to RM1 million each month. However, to date, only 10,543 members have signed up—representing less than 2% of PAS’s total membership.
