Pas Congress 7

by Shahrum Sayuthi

KULAIJAYA: Pas highest decision making body, the Syura Council today reiterated its support for the leadership of party president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang.

Council acting chief Datuk Ahmad Yaakub in his key note address at the opening of the council's annual general meeting here said Hadi had done the right thing in upholding the party's Islamic principles in face of the current political situation.

Making direct reference to the ongoing conflict among Pakatan coalition members and within Pas itself due to the Selangor leadership crisis, Ahmad said party members should support Hadi's decisions as he was putting the interests of the party and Islam above all else when doing so.

Ahmad said the Syura Council is still opposed to the nomination of PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail as the next Selamgor menteri besar due her questionable capabilities.

He added that the council even opposed the ouster of Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim from that post as he has not been proven guilty of any wrongdoing.

The council, he added was even opposed to the PKR's Kajang Move which triggered the crisis which he said was a waste of public fund due to the ensuing by-election.

"In this matter, the Syura Council praise and stand firm behind our party president (Hadi) for his steadfastness in upholding the party's Islamic principles despite being pressured by our Pakatan partners and some of our own party leaders," said Ahmad.
