Dr Hasan Ali to answer ‘Umno agenda’ on Saturday

(Bernama) – Datuk Dr Hasan Ali will answer an allegation linking him to the Umno agenda levelled against him by party secretary-general Datuk Mustafa Ali on Saturday.

“Let’s wait, I’ll explain tomorrow. I will give a press conference at my house at 11am,” said Hasan, who is Selangor Islamic Affairs, Malay Customs, Infrastructure and Public Facilities Committee chairman when contacted Friday.

On Thursday, Mustafa claimed that he had evidence to link Hasan to the Umno agenda.

Mustafa said this emanated from a meeting between Hasan and PAS former deputy president Nasharuddin Mat Isa, and three individuals at a hotel in the capital last Ramadan.

Nasharuddin could not be contacted for clarification.

In KOTA BARU, Perkasa president Datuk Ibrahim Ali said it was high time for Hasan to join Perkasa if he felt that he could not fulfil his aspiration to uphold Islam and fight for the Malays through PAS.

Ibrahim said he recently made the offer to Hasan after he was sidelined by PAS but had yet to get an answer.
