PAS information chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari today said the party is unaware of alleged attempts to entice its lawmakers into supporting Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s administration.
"To our knowledge, there has been none,” the Pasir Mas MP said during a press conference in Parliament today.
He said this when asked for comments regarding a report by Utusan Malaysia yesterday, which quoted a source who claimed that one PAS MP was sighted on multiple occasions entering the government backbenchers' lounge.
Commenting on the four Bersatu MPs who had in recent weeks pledged support for Anwar, Fadhli said the matter should not be linked directly to the party but should be regarded as individual actions.
"I'm confident Bersatu has and will take necessary actions to stop this activity.
"These are independent actions and these individuals cannot be linked to the party," he said.
"Yes, we (PAS) are disappointed by their actions but we hope that those who have 'crossed over' can reconsider to retract what they have done," he added.
The four Bersatu MPs who had declared their support for Anwar are Suhaili Abdul Rahman (Labuan), Iskandar Dzulkarnain Abdul Khalid (Kuala Kangsar), Mohd Azizi Abu Naim (Gua Musang) and Zahari Kechik (Jeli).
Since then, Bersatu has suspended Suhaili's membership for six years, and Iskandar Dzulkarnain for four years.
Yesterday, Bersatu Youth chief Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal accused Suhaili of being a "traitor" to the party over the latter’s involvement in alleged attempts to solicit support for Anwar.
