As he congratulates Hashim Jasin on his appointment as the new mursyidul am (spiritual adviser) of PAS, DAP supremo Lim Kit Sing warns the Islamic party’s former Perlis commissioner not to tell tall tales of things he knows nothing about.

"The former Perlis PAS commissioner is entitled to his political views but he is not entitled to speak on matters he has no personal knowledge or to try to pass off untruths as truths.

"I do not know what Hashim is talking about.

"It is clear that Hashim did not know what he was saying when he said that DAP had ‘reneged’ on its agreement to cooperate with Hadi, when it was Hadi who had reneged on the Common Policy Framework agreed by PAS when forming Pakatan Rakyat."

Lim said that Hashim should recall that DAP had never broken its commitments to Pakatan Rakyat, which broke up not because DAP had defaulted on any solemn agreement it had undertaken.

He said that Hashim should learn why Pakatan Harapan broke up instead of telling tall tales.

Lim was referring to a Bernama report yesterday quoting Hashim as saying that PAS would never cooperate with DAP again and was willing to face three-cornered fights in the coming 14th general election.

In the report, Hashim said that he regarded PAS-DAP ties as beyond reconciliation, alleging that DAP had "reneged on its agreement to cooperate with PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang".

Hashim said the cooperation with DAP in GE13 was based on a conditional political approach while its cooperation with Umno was on the basis of Islamic unity.

“We do not want to repeat our mistake and be bitten twice in the same spot for resuming ties with DAP,” he told a press conference in Kangar.
