Here are the key headlines from yesterday that you may have missed, in brief.

PAS denies leaders got RM90m from PM

PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man was up in arms over claims that the party leadership had received some RM90 million from Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, and threatened to sue Sarawak Report for reporting the allegation.

However, Sarawak Report editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown said the claim was a widespread suspicion among senior politicians in Malaysia, and was reported as such.

This came amid the US Department of Justice's (DOJ) finding that more than US$3.5 billion was stolen from Malaysian state fund 1MDB, US$731 million of which went to "Malaysian Official 1".

In light of this development, Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua called on the Public Accounts Committee to reopen the probe into 1MDB, but was snubbed.

Federal Territories Umno Youth chief Razlan Rafii accused the DOJ of trying to sow chaos in Malaysia with its findings.

Meanwhile, Amanah Youth submitted a memorandum to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, calling for Najib's removal in light of the DOJ findings.

Terengganu coup fizzles out

Terengganu Menteri Besar Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman declared the state's political crisis resolved as threats to file a no-confidence motion in the state assembly fizzled out.

Several Umno representatives heaped praise on Kijal assemblyperson Ahmad Said, who was the former Terengganu menteri besar, for not following through with his threat.

Ahmad Said's ally, Ajil assemblyperson Ghazali Taib, also pledged his support for Ahmad Razif.

The state assembly sitting saw a full attendance with the exception of PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang, who is the Rhu Rendang assemblyperson.

Jagat will not boycott FFM28

Makers of the film 'Jagat' said they will engage in a dialogue, instead of boycotting the 28th Malaysia Film Festival over the segregation of national and non-national language awards.

Meanwhile, MIC president Dr S Subramaniam, who is also health minister, urged FFM to do away with the segregation.
