Malaysia's Islamist party, which holds the most seats in Parliament, said it will not work with the ruling coalition, in a blow to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim after months of speculation of a tie-up.

Parti Islam SeMalaysia (PAS) said it would stand firm with the opposition and champion Islamic opposition and champion Islamic issues, such as banning alcohol and gambling, according to its president Abdul Hadi Awang.

PAS is becoming the biggest competitor for Datuk Seri Anwar in the battle for the votes of the Malay majority, who are Muslim by law.
