PAS central committee member Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad was assaulted by an unidentified individual as he was returning from subuh prayers this morning.

PAS Youth chief Suhaizan Kaiat said in a Facebook posting that Dzulkefly, who is a qualified toxicologist, was punched and hit on the face and forehead.

"Before leaving, the assailant asked Dzulkefly why he was so rude (kenapa kurang ajar sangat?)," Suhaizan wrote.

"PAS Youth expresses regret over the incident and we do not rule out that such action is a provocation on PAS leaders. They maybe out to create a split. May Allah reply to their bad deeds," the PAS Youth chief added on his Facebook posting.

When contacted, Dzulkefly’s wife Azlin Hezri said the PAS leader was approached by two men who came on a motorcycle during the 6.30am incident.

One of the men, who was wearing his helmet, punched Dzulkefly on the right side of his face while the latter was parking his car.

“The man opened my husband’s car door and punched him.

“Dr (Dzulkefly) then fought back while shouting ‘Allahuakbar’ loudly many times until the man was stunned momentarily, before he hit my husband with an iron rod,” Azlin told Malaysiakini.

“He is now resting at home and is not sure whether he will be going to Putrajaya later today or not.”

Dzulkefly suffered a split lip and an injury on his forehead. However, his injuries required no stitches.

He has since lodged a report with the police, who came over to his house following the incident.

Selangor PAS to boost security for leaders

Meanwhile, Selangor PAS commissioner Iskandar Samad (left), who also denounced the attack, expressed hope that the police would speed up their investigations.

This is so that those responsible for the attack would be swiftly identified and charged, he said.

“Selangor PAS will ensure that security measures for state party leaders are heightened to deter those who wish to resort to provocative means,” Iskandar said, adding that Selangor PAS Youth will be tasked with the responsibility.

“In whatever circumstances, such violent action should not have occurred,” he said in a statement.

Selangor PAS secretary Mohd Khairuddin Osman also expressed hope that those responsible for the attack would be brought to justice.

“We know that it was a provocative stunt by certain people with certain motives and we are confident that they are not Selangor PAS members.”

Khairuddin also urged state party members to inform the police whenever there are provocative actions made against any members.
