PAS information chief Nasrudin Hassan today clarified that party president Abdul Hadi Awang's stance against "foreign intervention" in the 1MDB affair does not mean PAS is against investigations on the troubled state firm.

Abdul Hadi had spoken out against the US Department of Justice (DOJ) which has filed a civil forfeiture suit aimed at seizing more than US$1 billion in assets believed acquired in the US using funds allegedly siphoned from 1MDB.

"PAS never agreed with the misappropriation, wrongdoing, corruption, money-laundering, usury, wastage, deception etc in the national economy, and this includes issues related with 1MDB. This is against Islam which PAS champions.

"Thus, PAS has since the start stressed that a Royal Commission of Inquiry must be formed to independently and transparently investigate alleged wrongdoing linked to 1MDB," he said in a statement.
