Kelantan PAS deputy commissioner II Husam Musa said today he would not reply to a claim by the Kickdefella blog writer Syed Azidi Syed Abdul Aziz that five Kelantan leaders had attempted to weaken the leadership of Abdullah Ahmad Badawi when he was prime minister to retain PAS rule in Kelantan.

"I do not have to reply because he (Syed Azidi) did not mention my name as one of the five said to be the mastermind," he told reporters after the weekly meeting of the state executive council in Kota Bharu.

Husam was asked to comment on Syed Azidi's claim in his blog that he had clear evidence of the involvement of five state government leaders in a psychological warfare to topple the Barisan Nasional government led by Abdullah to ensure PAS continued to administer Kelantan.
