The PKR president hits out at PAS over 'conflicting statements' from their leaders.
Anwar dares PAS to reveal if it paid Sarawak Report to settle suit By - February 26, 2019 4:13 PM GEORGE TOWN: PKR president Anwar Ibrahim today challenged PAS to state if the party had paid money to British journalist Claire Rewcastle-Brown in its out-of-court settlement of a defamation suit over allegations that party leaders had received some RM90 million from Umno. “I just want to ask if PAS made any payment to Claire. More than a million? But I cannot verify.
Anwar said PAS leaders had been issuing “conflicting statements” over the issue. “Also, the ability to lie, which is hard to accept as a Muslim,” he added, in an apparent reference to a PAS leader’s explanation that he had not once refrained from telling the truth in order to safeguard the party’s interest. Rewcastle-Brown, in her article published by Sarawak Report in August 2017, among others, suggested that senior PAS leaders could have received RM90 million ringgit from Najib Razak.
