Perak PAS commissioner Razman Zakaria has offered his apology to Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah), over a Facebook post which likened the latter to the Malayan Communist Party (MCP).

When contacted, Razman said it was better to apologise since Amanah was now threatening to take legal action.

"If they feel slighted, we apologise. Instead of wasting time (in court, we rather) just apologise.

"If they are slighted by those words, at least they don't like what was said, but that is the reality.

"It's okay for them to ask (for an apology). It's merely procedural," said Razman.

Razman had shared an image on his Facebook page this morning, which described MCP's 10th regiment as the party's Malay wing and that Amanah was now DAP's proxy.

"Our struggle must have clarity. Won't worry and play safe. Our enemies remains our enemies," wrote Razman in an accompanying caption.

This had apparently infuriated Amanah, who instructed party leader and lawyer Mohamed Hanipa Maiden to serve a letter of demand.

Razman told Malaysiakini that he did not compose the image, but shared something he found online.

"While we are apologising, but we also must be clear on what we are struggling for," he said.
