KINI ROUNDUP | Here are the key headlines you may have missed yesterday, in brief.

Kelantan palace revokes Dr M's title

The Kelantan palace has revoked the Darjah Kerabat Al-Yunusi (DK) title awarded to former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, for reasons yet to be known.

Former opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim said his nemesis-turned-ally Mahathir cannot be likened to Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe, as the former is committed to reforms.

Muhyiddin Yassin, the president of Bersatu, of which Mahathir is the chairperson, said Pakatan Harapan's seat allocations in Johor had been completed.

Muhyiddin also assured that Bersatu's annual general meeting in December last year was in compliance with the constitution, amid complaints by certain quarters against it.

Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi confirmed the Registrar of Societies (ROS) has initiated a probe into Bersatu's AGM and said he had asked to expedite the investigation into the complaints lodged against it.

PAS members who don't vote for party unworthy, says Hadi

PAS members who refuse to vote for the party are not worthy to be in the party, said PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang.

Hadi also expressed regret that his party's contribution to the current Selangor government had been taken lightly.

Hadi claimed that Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, the former PAS spiritual leader, had noticed "problems" with DAP, such as the party's alleged increasing use of racial and religious rhetoric.

In response, DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang said Hadi was merely bitter because DAP did not endorse Umno's Gua Musang MP Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah or Hadi himself, as prime-minister designates, in the 13th general elections.

DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng told the government not to dismiss consumers' worry about declining spending power amid a strengthening GDP.
