The list of 10 things given by the Home Ministry allegedly "proving" that PAS number two Mohamad Sabu is a Shiite adherent is not enough to the accused.
In an immediate reaction, the politician better known as Mat Sabu stood firm on his earlier denial.
"About the allegation that I was impressed with Khomeini, I say thanks. I am an admirer of his leadership because he is a leader who brought Muslims to stand on their own," he said.
"I am also an admirer of Hassan Nasrullah (Lebanese Shiite leader)," he added.
He added he will make a further statement after meeting with his lawyer this Sunday.Mat Sabu's unflappable response was matched by former education deputy minister Saifuddin Abdullah (right).
Apparently ridiculing the ministry's "evidence", the now chief executive officer of the government initiative Global Movement of Moderates, said that he, too, is a Khomeini admirer.
"I admire (South African leader Nelson) Mandela, (Cuban communist fighter) Che Guevera, (Indian independence activist) Ghandi and (Indian nun) Mother Theresa.
"Does that make me a Christian, Communist and Hindu? I too admire Khomeini. Am I a Shiite?" he asked on Twitter.
