The police will be questioning PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang tomorrow morning over a speech in which he allegedly questioned the authority of the Pardons Board.

He was supposed to have been questioned yesterday but requested for the meeting to be postponed, citing health reasons.

However, photos later emerged of Hadi and other PAS leaders meeting with Dr Mahathir Mohamad - around the same time the interview was supposed to take place.

Bukit Aman CID chief Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain said the police were in the dark over the meeting with the ex-prime minister.

“His meeting with Mahathir was not known to us,” he was quoted as saying by TV3.

The police director was not quoted as commenting further on the matter.

Earlier today, PKR deputy information chief Razeef Rakimin questioned whether Hadi feigned illness to skip meeting the police, and went to see Mahathir instead.

Hadi (above) is being probed over a speech he made in Johor on Aug 26.

During that speech, he reportedly said the process of granting pardons in Malaysia goes against Islamic teachings, where it is the family of victims who have the right to pardon - and not the Pardon’s Board.

He is being investigated under the Sedition Act.

The Pardons Board in each state is appointed by the state ruler or governor, with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong appointing the board for the federal territories.
