Mat Sabu: Hadi attending Pakatan leadership council meeting

PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang has confirmed his attendance at Sunday’s Pakatan Rakyat leadership council meeting, said his deputy Mohamad Sabu.

Speaking to reporters at the party’s headquarters here on Friday, Mohamad said secretary-general Datuk Mustafa Ali has assured of Abdul Hadi’s attendance.

“We understand that he (Abdul Hadi) will be attending the PAS central committee meeting in the morning and he will stay on until the Pakatan leadership meeting in the afternoon.

“As Muslims say, ‘insyaAllah' (God willing) because you don’t know what is going to happen that day. If I were sick that day, I would probably not go as well,” said Mohamad, laughing.

The Pakatan leadership council meeting has been put on hold for months following their prolonged fallout in the Selangor Mentri Besar crisis.

On Thursday, DAP said the meeting would not proceed if Abdul Hadi did not turn up.

Its secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said this was the decision made by the party’s central executive committee.
