PAS does not need to be reminded about its earlier announcement that it will sue whistleblower website Sarawak Report over allegations that the Islamic party received RM90 million in donations from Umno.

Party secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan said the suit against the online site will go on and is being arranged at this very moment.

"We are taking action, we have started the process. One month to start the (legal) action. It needs time. In one month or so we will be engaging lawyers (to act on our behalf).

"No need to remind us, it is our action, we will take it on our own without the need of anyone to remind us," Takiyuddin told Malaysiakini in response to questions.

Yesterday, Umno-linked portal Mykmu.net reminded PAS that the Islamic party has yet to sue Sarawak Report on the allegations that its top leaders were paid off by Umno, to the tune of RM90 million.

Mykmu.net further claimed that Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad has also asked the pro-tem president, Muhyiddin Yassin, to remind PAS of the matter.

Commenting on these claims, Takiyuddin said that no one, including Mahathir, should seek to remind PAS about its suit, as it has nothing to do with other parties.

"No one should be worried as the statute of limitation states that we have six years to file.

"Why should Mahathir want to remind us, for this is between us and Sarawak Report," he stressed.

PAS was reportedly incensed by a commentary published by Sarawak Report, alleging that Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak had succeeded in pulling the Islamic party away from the opposition pact after RM90 million made its way into the pockets of senior PAS leaders.

Sarawak Report editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown clarified later that the report was based on widespread speculation.
