Selangor PAS’ prodigal son 'hijacked'

A much-anticipated event today to welcome an Amanah leader back to PAS in Selangor today was marred by efforts to "hijack" the event, said Selangor PAS secretary Roslan Shahrir Mohd Shahrir.
"If they want to rejoin us, we will accept. But (the event) was hijacked. How could we continue with it?
"They (Amanah) stopped a party member from leaving," he told Malaysiakini.
Roslan declined to name anyone involved in the alleged hijacking.
Earlier today, thousands tuned in to Selangor PAS live Facebook feed for the "welcoming" ceremony, but no one turned up and it was called off 50 minutes into the broadcast.
Roslan was contacted to elaborate on his Facebook post today following the botched welcoming ceremony, where he used several allegories to insinuate that there are Amanah members who want out because they no longer wanted to "depend" on the DAP for their survival.
Amanah was formed in August 2015 by a group of "progressive" PAS figures who were routed during the party's leadership election.
The party is led by former PAS deputy president Mohamad Sabu and was part of the Pakatan Harapan administration.
