The PAS president and his deputy – Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang (left) and Mohamad Sabu – at the party's annual general assembly in September last year. Both party leaders will be at the opposition coalition Pakatan Rakyat's Leadership Council meeting on Sunday. – The Malaysian Insider pic, February 6, 2015.Ahead of a key Pakatan Rakyat Leadership Council meeting on Sunday, PAS has again assured that Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang will attend the meeting, his first in months.
The Islamist party's deputy president Mohamad Sabu, in giving the assurance, said Hadi would attend the meeting unless he fell sick.
“We have been made to understand he will attend the PAS meeting in the morning and then the Pakatan Council meeting in the afternoon,” he said today at the press conference at the Islamist party headquarters in Kuala Lumpur today.
The last PR leadership council meeting was held in October last year but Hadi was said to have been absent from such meetings for over a year.
He had also kept a low profile since the end of the Selangor menteri besar saga in September last year.
The PR leadership council meeting will be held this Sunday, at 2.30pm, at the PAS headquarters in Jalan Raja Laut, Kuala Lumpur.
Sabu’s assurance comes following a similar assurance from party secretary-general Datuk Mustafa Ali on Monday following a meeting with opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
"We have reached an agreement to hold the meeting. A discussion (between PAS leaders) was also held this morning at the PAS headquarters," Mustafa told The Malaysian Insider following the meeting. – February 6, 2015
