HYPOCRISY EXPOSED: PAS submitted only one name in 2013 when Palace asked for FOUR

PKR has dismissed the argument put forth by PAS over the latter's decision to submit two names to the palace for the Selangor menteri besar post.

Party-secretary general Saifuddin Nasution said after the last general election, PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang had no qualms in submitting only one name.

"This was despite the sultan asking for four names," he told Malaysiakini.

PAS secretary-general Mustafa Ali argued that not submitting more than one name as requested by the sultan could be construed as "forcing" the palace.

He also clarified that the situation was different in the past because the issue was not out in the public domain as the current imbroglio.

Mustafa had reacted to Anwar Ibrahim asking PAS to stick by the Aug 17 Pakatan council decision to only propose Wan Azizah.
