Hasan shocked by drastic action
Reacting to the news of his sacking from the party, Hasan said that he was shocked by the party’s “drastic action”.
“I am also sad as my struggle to uphold Islam has been repaid in this manner,” said the Gombak Setia state representative in a statement.
He said that he would be consulting his friends and religious scholars on his next step, adding that he would be calling for a press conference soon.
