SHAH ALAM: PAS Youth has proposed for Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan to be the new secretary-general of Perikatan Nasional.
The wing’s chief Afnan Hamimi Taib Azamudden has urged Perikatan chairman, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to consider the suggestion as Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin has been given a new mandate as Bersatu deputy president.
