Former PAS vice-president Husam Musa’s wife has received a death threat amidst an escalating quarrel between him and his party’s leadership.

Amanah deputy president Salahuddin Ayub, who is also a former PAS vice- president, said Husam had confided in him about the matter.

Salahuddin, who is in Kelantan, said the incident occured on Monday.

He said the threat was made through a text message and a police report was lodged the same day.

However, Salahuddin declined to speculate from which quarter the threat may have come from.

"In such a tense situation, I cannot make any statements," he said.

Malaysiakini is attempting to contact Husam for further clarification.

Salahuddin also revealed that one of the tires of his four-wheel drive vehicle had been pierced (photo) with a knife

He said he was initially unaware of the puncture and nearly hit a motorcyclist when his vehicle lost control.

He has since lodged a police report and described the incident as the work of ‘kids’.
