PETALING JAYA: A Bersatu leader has denied that Perlis menteri besar Abu Bakar Hamzah is meddling in PAS’s affairs after he reportedly called for three of the party’s former assemblymen to be allowed to sit as independents.
Urging PAS leaders to check their facts, Bersatu information chief Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz said he was present at a meeting at the home of PAS spiritual leader Hashim Jasin, and did not hear Abu Bakar propose anything that would interfere with PAS’s internal affairs.
Instead, Tun Faisal said, the menteri besar from Bersatu had only raised administrative issues linked to the delivery of aid and services in the three state seats declared by the assembly speaker as vacant.
