PAS: Guan Eng and DAP can quit Pakatan

Kelantan Deputy Menteri Besar Nik Amar Abdullah has told DAP to quit Pakatan Rakyat on its own, instead of trying to push PAS out of the coalition.

Nik Amar, who is also Kelantan PAS deputy commissioner, took issue with DAP's attempt at pressuring the Islamic party's president, Abdul Hadi Awang, to attend the Pakatan leadership council meetings.

He is quoted in an Utusan Malaysia report as saying today that DAP was deliberately playing up on a "small issue" to push the Islamic party out of Pakatan.

"If (DAP secretary-general) Lim Guan Eng (left) wants to quit Pakatan, please do so. If DAP wants to quit Pakatan, then get out.

"Do not pressure PAS to quit Pakatan," Nik Amar is quoted as saying.

He said this in response to a motion passed by the DAP central executive committee last Wednesday, urging Abdul Hadi to attend the coalition's meetings.

The motion was passed after Lim criticised Hadi for skipping the meetings, stating that it made cooperating with PAS difficult.

Lim said this was because Hadi would then overrule decisions made by his lieutenants who attended the meetings in his place.

Hadi, who finally responded last Sunday, said it was his prerogative to decide whether to attend the meetings or otherwise.
