Kedah PAS deputy commissioner Phahrolrazi Zawawi revealed that he has been slapped with a gag order following a meeting at the PAS headquarters in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday.
The meeting, meant to address the tussle between Phahrolrazi (

Another meeting scheduled for tonight will see PAS party president Abdul Hadi Awang personally going to Kedah in a last ditch effort to resolve the conflict.
"I was called to the headquarters and told not to say anything until a meeting between PAS central committee leaders and the division," a report in The Star today quoted Phahrolrazi saying.
The rift became public last week after Phahrolrazi and Alor Mengkudu assemblyperson Ismail Salleh wrote a letter to Azizan, declining to be reappointed as state exco in protest of the MB’s leadership.
Their appontments were due for renewal on Tuesday after their term expired.
While the PAS central committee had directed Azizan (

Phahrolrazi and Ismail however remain adamant and have refused to take up the positions unless certain undisclosed conditions are met, despite advice from central leaders for them to put the party’s unity above the row, reported the daily.
Phahrolrazi who is also Kuala Kedah PAS division chief had also issued an ultimatum for his deputy Amiruddin Hamzah to quit his exco position or face a boycott from the division.
According to the English daily, Amiruddin will however abide by the PAS central committe's instruction and remain as Kedah housing, local government, works and water supply committee chairperson.
