Pakatan Harapan chairperson has shot back at critics who opined last week he does not have the Islamic qualities to be the next prime minister.

“Not only am I now too old to be prime minister, but I am now told I am not qualified because my Islamic thinking is incorrect.

“Why so? Because … based on what Haron Din has said. That I am said to be 'muktazilah', that is I prioritise the brain, that is, I use my brains to think."
