The allegedly confidential document entitled 'Tahun Tawan Kedah 2003' (Capture Kedah year 2003) exposed by Umno vice-president Najib Abdul Razak in the media today, was actually a working paper presented by a PAS member during a seminar more than two years ago.

PAS' Kedah commissioner Azizan Abdul Razak said that, the working paper was not confidential and never touched on PAS' involvement in "systematically arranging the movement of voters to all state seats at the coming general election" as alleged by Najib who is also the defence minister.

He said there is no reason for PAS to issue confidential documents as it has always been transparent in its plans and agenda to capture the state in the next general election.

When asked the content of the working paper, Azizan clarified that it had advised its members to make appropriate relocation in the event that a redelineation takes place to ensure continuity of activities and support to the party.

"During the seminar we anticipated that there would be redelineation and true enough our suspicions were correct. In working towards victory, we advised that if a change of electoral boundaries takes place, PAS members should relocate to follow the new boundary.

"For example, the three state seats Langgar, Bukit Lada and Tanjung Seri were under the Pokok Sena parliament. But now Tanjung Seri has been relocated under the Alor Setar parliamentary constituency. So we advise our members to shift to Alor Setar to continue their activities. That is all and not as alleged by Umno," he said.
