An aide to the PAS president has given his assurance that Abdul Hadi Awang is well aware of Umno's tricks despite both parties having shared the stage at a Rohingya issue protest and working together to amend Syariah Court (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965, or Act 355.

"Has PAS been played around by Umno? I understand the concern of our friends when they look at the (political) game between PAS and Umno," said Ahmad Shamsuri Mokhtar, political secretary to Hadi.
