PETALING JAYA: PAS leaders led by party president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang have met with former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to declare support for his “Malay Proclamation,” aimed at “uniting the Malays.”
The top PAS leaders were seen in a photograph signing the document. However, it is unclear when exactly the signing took place.
“Several top PAS leaders led by Abdul Hadi signed the Malay People’s Proclamation in front of Mahathir,” Dr Mahathir’s aide Abu Bakar Yahya said in a Facebook post on Wednesday.
Another photograph shared by Abu Bakar shows Terengganu Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, PAS secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan and Bachok MP Syahir Sulaiman together at the meeting.
The Malay Proclamation secretariat had previously said its planned rally in March was not political in nature and aimed to discuss issues related to the Malay community.
On March 19, the rally secretariat announced that the programme involving Dr Mahathir faced difficulties in securing a venue and had to be called off.
