PAS President Abdul Hadi Awang has practically shown the door to PasMa, the organisation within the party that is composed of members regarded as liberal.
In his latest Facebook posting, Hadi likens the Pakatan Rakyat parties to ships sailing towards the same destination and describes PasMa members as people boring holes through the floor of the PAS vessel.
He tells PasMa members to board a different ship if the PAS ship is too stifling for them.
“Go into the DAP ship or the PKR ship,” he says. “If you want to get to Putrajaya even faster, go into the Umno ship.”
PasMa, headed by Pengkalan Kundor assemblyman Phahrolrazi Zawawi, was formed last August when PAS was undergoing an internal conflict over the choice of the Selangor Menteri Besar. The group, composed mostly of supporters of Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim, is often critical of the ulama faction in PAS.
Last Wednesday, a news report quoted Phahrolrazi as saying that Hadi seemed no longer interested in being with Pakatan Rakyat.
