== Political career ==
=== PAS stance on opposition pact===
On 20 October 2016, Hashim Jasin emphasized that the Islamist party PAS will not collaborate with other political parties to topple the current Prime Minister [[Najib Razak]]’s [[Second Najib cabinet|government]] as this would not benefit him or the party. He mentioned that previous attempts in the past had proven failed. In the early 1990s, PAS joined forces with [[Parti Melayu Semangat 46]] (S46) led by [[Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah]], then teaming up with [[Democratic Action Party (Malaysia)|Democratic Action Party]] (DAP) & [[People's Justice Party (Malaysia)|People's Justice Party]] (PKR) to form [[Barisan Alternatif]] (BA) in 1998 and subsequently [[Pakatan Rakyat]] (PR) in 2008. Hashim stressed that PAS would like to take charge of the opposition pact, rather than follow.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2016/10/21/hashim-we-will-not-work-with-others-to-topple-najib/ | title=Hashim: We will not work with others to topple Najib }}</ref>

=== Better to be with Umno than with ‘anti-Islam’ DAP'===
On 6 February 2017, PAS top leader Hashim Jasin said the party will choose ‘oppressive’ Umno over ‘anti-Islam’ DAP anytime. He said PAS was cooperating with Umno and [[Barisan Nasional]] (BN) because the Malay-based party can still be relied on compared to other “anti-Islam” parties. He said PAS’ approach was in line with the “mature politics” advocated by Prophet Muhammad.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.malaysia-today.net/better-to-be-with-umno-than-with-anti-islam-dap/ | title=Better to be with Umno than with 'anti-Islam' DAP }}</ref>

== Controversy ==
In 2013, when Hashim Jasin was the then Perlis PAS commissioner, it was exposed that he owned a [[Porsche Cayman]]. He explained that the car was belongs to his son which was bought with approximate price RM100,000 from England using the Approved Permit which was reserved to him as a state assemblyman.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.sinarharian.com.my/nasional/pesuruhjaya-pas-perlis-porsche-cayman-milik-anak-saya-1.125310 | title=Hashim: Porsche Cayman milik anak saya }}</ref>

In 2016, Hashim Jasin said that PAS unlikely to receive RM90 million, since he is driving a [[Proton Saga]] and lives in a home worth only RM60,000. He said that if PAS had RM100 million, he could have even built three swimming pools.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/372215 | title= Hashim: I drive a Proton Saga, PAS leader refutes RM90m claim}}</ref>
