Pas leaders’ sarcastic posts spark questions amid Perlis political fallout
"Betrayal cannot be allowed to go unpunished."
SHAH ALAM – Several Pas leaders have uploaded sarcastic posts on their respective Facebook accounts, raising questions believed to be linked to the Perlis political crisis, despite the situation appearing to have been resolved with the appointment of a new Menteri Besar on Sunday.
Among them was Pas treasurer-general Datuk Iskandar Abdul Samad, who posted a brief status referring to betrayal, saying it should not be left without consequences.
“I am not sad but happy because now we know their true colours. Betrayal cannot be allowed to go unpunished,” he said.
However, the post did not refer to any specific recent report, although it was believed to be connected to the appointment of a new Menteri Besar from Bersatu.
Meanwhile, Pas vice-president Datuk Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah appeared to suggest that the party acknowledged a fracture within Perikatan Nasional (PN).
“It's a crack waiting to split,” he said on Sunday.
On Sunday, Perlis Bersatu state leadership council chief Abu Bakar Hamzah was sworn in as the 12th Menteri Besar.
The appointment replaced Sanglang state assemblyman Mohd Shukri Ramli from Pas, who resigned due to health reasons last Thursday.
Prior to that, eight PN state assemblymen, comprising five from Bersatu and three from Pas, submitted statutory declarations stating that they had withdrawn their support for Mohd Shukri.
