With only a day left before the Pakatan Rakyat leadership council meeting, PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang still refuses to commit to attend the meeting that have not been held for more than four months.

 

Hadi was quoted in Harakahdaily as saying that he was not a school student where attendance had to be taken.

 

"They (DAP) do not have a right to decide whether I attend or not. It is up to me to attend or not.

"I am not a student. We'll see," he was quoted as saying.

 

DAP had set Hadi's attendance as a precondition for the party to also come to the Pakatan leadership council meeting.

 

DAP is adamant that about Hadi showing up after he overruled decisions made by Pakatan leadership council which were agreed upon by his subordinates.

 

Hadi's latest statement is a repeat of his defiant stance in November, during which the DAP central executive committee passed a resolution demanding Hadi's presence.

 

The Pakatan leadership council meeting was fixed for tomorrow after PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim expressed hope to bring the top Pakatan leaders together before his Sodomy II judgment on Feb 10, where he faces the possibility of jail.

 

Hadi also denied being constantly absent from the Pakatan leadership council meeting and took a swipe at DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng.

 

"I am proud that I have attended the meeting more than Lim Guan Eng, except when I was sick before," he was quoted in the PAS mouthpiece.
