Former PAS treasurer suspicious of party’s spending power
Former PAS treasurer-general Asmuni Awi said it was unlikely for Umno to have directly funded the Islamist party, but alleged it could have paid off party leaders.
(MMO) – Asmuni, who is now head of the Perak Amanah, said some PAS leaders’ ability to independently fund large-scale programmes raised suspicion.
“To be honest, PAS is not a rich party. We had tens of thousands in our account, which is mostly from the one-off member’s registration fees and donation, but definitely not millions, not when I was treasurer,” he said.
He said the party has around 800,000 members who paid only a one-off RM100 to register. It also did not get donations larger than RM20,000.
