‘HE SWIPES LEFT & RIGHT & IS CLOSE TO AZMIN ALI’: HADI’S SON-IN-LAW MAKES SHOCK BRIBE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST 5 MEMBERS OF PAS’ ‘DEDAK CARTEL’ – THROWING THE SPOTLIGHT ON TAKIYUDDIN, WHO IS OFTEN SEEN AS ALIGNED TO AZMIN CARTEL IN PKR, & WHO JUST DAYS AGO RUSHED TO CALL ANWAR ‘CONVICT’ AFTER MAHATHIR SAID ANWAR WOULD ‘DEFINITELY’ BE NEXT PM

A DAY after PAS said it would seek clarification from the party president’s son-in-law, Zaharudin Muhammad, on his claim that a “dedak cartel” exists in the party, the latter has revealed five individuals he alleges is part of it.

Without naming the corrupt persons, Zaharudin listed the five individuals as “Dr Hussam II”, “Mr NT”, “Mr KT”, “Mr KH” and “everyone knows” in a Facebook post today.

He said that the last person on the list was a good friend but was too engrossed with his friends, becoming the front-line defender of this group.

“He doesn’t know much actually.

“Of all of them, I will focus only on No. 1. Because what he does, Mr 2 all the way to Mr 5, they don’t know about it.

“(Dr Hussam II) is more cunning than (the real) Hussam (referring to Amanah leader Husam Musa). He swipes left and right.

“He is close with (Mohamed) Azmin (Ali) too, and tried to get dedak from Azmin, but whether he got it or not is unknown,” Zaharudin said.

Yesterday, PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan said the party would ask Zaharudin’s to explain his allegation of the existence of a “dedak cartel”.

Takiyuddin said Zaharudin will be asked to submit a report as “we cannot base (his allegation) on social media (posts alone)”.

“We will call him for an explanation, whether he actually made the statement and the purpose (behind it),” Takiyuddin had said.

He was referring to Zaharudin’s earlier Facebook post in which he had raised the issue of an audio recording involving Bachok MP Nik Abduh Nik Abdul Aziz talking about Umno’s funding of PAS, and his hitting out at a group he called the “dedak cartel”.

Zaharudin is the son-in-law of PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang, and has been accused of leaking Nik Abduh’s audio recording on Umno money.

Today, Zaharudin also said his mission was to expose the cartel and save the party and its leadership from slander.

He said his remarks had nothing to do with the RM90 million from Umno scandal involving PAS.

“God willing, the cases here were of a scale that did not break the law, but were wrong morally, religiously and broke party integrity,” he said.
