Nik Aziz tells Hadi: I'm still captain

PAS has been sailing in troubled waters of late and this has prompted its spiritual leader Nik Aziz Nik Mat to remind the party president Abdul Hadi Awang that he is still captain of the ship.
In view of this, the Kelantan menteri besar called on his 'first mate' to consult him before making any decision on forming a unity government with Barisan Nasional.
Nik Aziz said he did not want "too many captains in one ship" and conflicting statements to be made as this could cause confusion among PAS members and affect the party's credibility.
He also reiterated his stand that he was against the idea (unity government) which received the endorsement of the top PAS leadership at its muktamar (general assembly) in Ipoh last year, but was open to discussion with Hadi on the matter.
"I as the mursyidul am (spiritual advisor) is like the captain, if the anchor man wants to see me for something I cannot refuse... if the oarsman wants to see me, I must also entertain him," he was quoted as saying by Bernama.
"If Hadi wants to see me about it, I would be more than willing to meet him," he said.
Nik Aziz was asked if he was willing to meet party leaders who are for the unity government to discuss the issue.
Ibrahim Ali backs Hadi
Meanwhile, Pasir MAS MP Ibrahim Ali said he backed Hadi's call for a unity government, saying it was needed as the Malays had become increasingly disunited.
"I see Hadi (left) also gives a lot of attention to Muslim unity... it (unity government) is in the interest of race, religion and country," he told reporters.
He added that PAS leaders should convince Nik Aziz that the unity government was the best option for the Malays in the present circumstances.
On another matter, he said the Bar Council had ulterior motives in calling for the abolishment of the Sedition Act.
"The laws are made by Parliament and it is not for the Bar Council to question their legality," he said.

tunku : if you want to talk about unity, don't call nik aziz or discuss with him. he likes to have war and fight all the time. that is his way of Islamic teaching.he is not the person that one can seek for true advice or discussion.If you want to talk about how to kill off umno,talk bad about umno, look for him, he'll be at his best at telling bad things about others.pas should ask nik aziz to retire.

If he is whom he says he is, then he should be responsible or take responsibility of the 'kafir mengkafir' issues of UMNO.

if pak lah of najib were to say something similar such as that ' i, as the pm or dpm, i am the captain', for sure puak pas will say that pak lah or najib riak punya orang.

but coming out from nik aziz'z mouth, everything is halal.

to me, what nik aziz said is tantamount to riak.
