PAS vice-president Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah claims to have proof that Amanah is working together with Umno in Kelantan, which PAS governs.

Mohd Amar, who is the state’s deputy Menteri Besar, also alleged that Umno had previously agreed to pay the PAS splinter party to fund election preparation work.

“I have information that Amanah Kelantan leaders have met with Umno Kelantan leaders, and are berpakat (conspiring).

“In the past month or two they have been conspiring to topple PAS in Kelantan.

“Umno has agreed to give money to Amanah for election work.

“I don’t want to reveal who met whom, but I have the information,” he claimed in his speech at the launch of PAS Panchor’s Operations Room in Kota Bahru last night.

Malaysiakini is unable to independently verify these claims.

When contacted, Amanah Kelantan chief Wan Abdul Rahim Wan Abdullah refused to comment and said he would issue a response after receiving legal counsel.

“I will discuss with my lawyer for further action,” he replied.

In his speech, Mohd Amar also vowed to take responsibility for his allegations.

“This shows how evil Amanah is, I will be responsible for this statement.

“They (might) say I have no proof, but I have the information. The information is with us.

“And that is why we need to trust our leadership. Do not trust the media, if you want to know the true statements from (PAS) leaders, you need to reach (for) Harakah,” he said, referring to the Islamist party’s mouthpiece.
