GE15 | Nik Omar Nik Abdul Aziz's mother Tuan Sabariah Tuan Ishak said she did not approve of her son contesting the election on any ticket other than PAS.

In a post on Facebook yesterday, Tuan Sabariah (about) said she and her husband, the late Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, have educated their children to stay with the Islamic struggle brought by PAS.

"I have never approved any of my children to contest in any election except on the PAS ticket.

"The late Tuan Guru and I have educated our children from a young age to remain steadfast in the Islamic struggle with the PAS party," she said in the statement.

This is not the first time Tuan Sabariah has issued a statement prohibiting his son from participating in or contest elections on a party ticket other than PAS.

Pasir Salak candidate Nik Omar Nik Abdul Aziz

In the last general election, she opposed the decision of her second son to contest in the Chempaka state assembly seat in Kelantan under the Amanah ticket.

She even campaigned in the area to support the PAS candidate Ahmad Fathan Mahmood.

In addition to not getting his mother's blessing, Nik Omar also faced opposition from his own younger brother, Nik Abduh, who was then a member of the central PAS committee.

The late Nik Aziz served as Kelantan menteri besar from 1990 to 2013 and passed away in 2015.

On 26 Oct, PKR announced that his son Nik Omar would be the party's candidate for the Pasir Salak parliamentary seat in the coming polls.

The contest will see a four-cornered clash between Nik Omar, Khairul Azwan Harun (BN), Jamaluddin Yahya (PN) and Zairol Hizam Zakaria (GTA) for the seat that was held by Tajuddin Abdul Rahman for three terms from 2008.
