Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad has blasted PAS vice-president Idris Ahmad for labelling Malays who work with the DAP as cowards and asked him if he would apply such an insulting term to revered PAS leaders, the late Fadzil Mohd Noor and Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat who brought PAS into coalitions with the DAP.

According to the former Federal Territories minister, Idris' statement was an attack against the duo who advocated PAS working with the DAP to overthrow the longstanding Barisan Nasional regime.
