GE14 | Pakatan Harapan chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad should stop "slandering" PAS and reveal his coalition's source of funding, the party said today.

Deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said that he is baffled by Harapan's approach to campaigning for the 14th general election, by claiming that PAS is being paid by Umno to defeat the coalition.

"Is this because he (Mahathir) feels that the anticipated 'Malay tsunami' is moving towards PAS, which is corruption-free?

"The claim (that Umno gave PAS money) is a shallow one that has no other intention than to confuse and 'steal' the rakyat's votes using dirty tactics," he said in a statement.

According to Tuan Ibrahim, Mahathir cannot accept PAS as the party has been graft-free since he was the prime minister, and because the component parties in the coalition he currently leads are also "embroiled in corruption."

"It is unfortunate that the rakyat has to put up with this disgusting, uncivilised political culture.

"What lesson is Harapan trying to teach the rakyat?" he asked.

Instead of continuing his "slanderous" comments against PAS, Tuan Ibrahim said, Mahathir should instead answer the question put forth by PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang about Harapan's own source of funding.

"Where is Harapan getting the funds for the general election from? Where does Mahathir get the money from, to fly here and there, on private jets? Who is funding him?

"If he is a friend of Mahathir, who is he? Please reveal the person, instead of just slandering PAS," said Tuan Ibrahim.
