PMTG PAUH PAS’ highest authority, the central committee, has confirmed the party’s support for PKR’s Permatang Pauh candidate and will not tolerate any dissent from its members, said PAS deputy president Mohamad Sabu.

Therefore, he said in a statement late last night, Penang PAS Youth will be probed for defying the party instructions for reportedly insisting on a boycott of PKR candidate Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

“Therefore we urge all PAS members to reject outright any instructions or stand from that goes against the decision of the PAS central committee, and should any actions by any members prove to be counter the instructions, disciplinary action may be taken on the said members based on the regulations in the party constitution,” said Mohamad Sabu.

Yesterday, he announced that PKR has already met with PAS to explain why it does not support PAS’ hudud bill, and both the party and its Permatang Pauh division had agreed to put the matter behind them and place their joint efforts on winning the by-election.

Penang PAS Youth was reported today expressing unhappiness that PKR has not apologised to party chief Abdul Hadi Awang for not supporting PAS’s hudud bill.

Mohamad Sabu however said the party will investigate and take action against the state’s youth chief soon.

He added PAS is “committed” to ensuring Pakatan candidate’s success at the polls “to save the people from BN’s actions that oppress the people”.

“The entire PAS machinery at all levels must carry on their campaign activities to the maximum level, to ensure Pakatan Rakyat’s candidate Wan Azizah Wan Ismail wins,” he added.
