DR MAHATHIR Mohamad has dismissed any conspiracy in his recent meeting with PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang.

Calling the meeting normal, the prime minister said he was ready to meet anyone who calls on him.

“They (PAS) wanted to meet me to voice out some of their worries.

“I told them to back us in parliament if we are doing the right thing even if they are the opposition, and not to support if we are doing something wrong.

“Whatever we are doing is for the good of the nation,” he said in a press conference in Langkawi today when asked to comment on his meeting with Hadi earlier this month.

Dr Mahathir added there were certain issues and laws which were supported by PAS.

The meeting had prompted speculations of a new political alignment shaping up in Putrajaya involving Bersatu and PAS.

Hadi’s previous meetings with Dr Mahathir had also caused similar rumours. – January 20, 2020.
