KUALA LUMPUR: Umno’s former Ketereh MP Tan Sri Annuar Musa (pic) claims that up to one thousand Umno members will cross over to PAS with him.
The former Communications and Multimedia Minister said he was waiting for approval from PAS’ top leadership for them to join the party.
“It is not 10 Umno members only, as reported. One thousand others have applied alongside me to join PAS,” he said, adding that they will know the decision in the second week of June.
Speaking to reporters at the Muafakat Nasional Hari Raya open house held here yesterday, Annuar said he was ending his six-month political hiatus as the country needed better leadership with “the right numbers”.
PAS secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan stated on May 18 that Annuar had sent in his PAS membership form along with 10 others.
Also at the open house were former prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, Opposition leader Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin, Kelantan Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Yaakob and Takiyuddin.
