PAS wants Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to provide evidence that Perikatan Nasional (PN) received political funding from gaming companies during the general election.

Its secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan said PN will consider legal action if Anwar failed to show proof to back his claims.

“PAS regrets the slanderous accusation made by the prime minister, which implied that PN’s election funds came from gaming companies.

“If he is unable to do so, PN will consider legal action,” Takiyuddin said in a statement.

Yesterday, Anwar made a remark suggesting that PN’s funds for its election campaign came from gaming companies.

“On the issue of gambling, certainly this is partly used to finance elections. (I have asked for) checks on that.

“Whether you call yourself a Malay party or Islamic party, notwithstanding, the (election) funds came from gaming companies,” Anwar was quoted as saying by news portal Malaysiakini after chairing a special cabinet meeting. – December 6, 2022.
