A PAS leader refutes claims his party struggles to pick a Perikatan Nasional chairman successor to Muhyiddin Yassin.
Report Denied
Utusan Malaysia quoted PAS sources saying Muhyiddin, who quit January 1, might stay on amid candidate delays that paint PAS leaderless.
Vice-president Idris Ahmad tells FMT it’s false – pure propaganda from shady sources.
“You can’t trust such reports,” he says.
Potential Successors
PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang claimed the post for his party but sits it out for health reasons.
Names floated: Deputy Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man and vice-president Terengganu Menteri Besar Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar.
Samsuri, once PN PM hopeful, faces ulama faction resistance.
Party Presidents
Muhyiddin this week offered the role to PAS but insists on a component president.
Besides Hadi and Muhyiddin, only Gerakan’s Dominic Lau and Malaysian Indian People’s Party’s P Punithan qualify.
