PAS should reflect upon themselves for labelling Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s revelation that he had received multiple threats following his strong stand on the Palestinian cause as an alarmist statement, spokesman for the unity government Fahmi Fadzil said.

Fahmi, who is Communications and Digital minister and PKR information chief, said as a party, PAS is “quite alarmist”, particularly leading up to the state elections.

“PAS as a party is quite alarmist. We’ve seen over many months, particularly leading up to the state elections, how PAS claimed that voting for certain parties will lead to all hell breaking loose throughout the country.  

“That hasn’t happened, so I think he (PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan) should put a mirror up close to his face and have a good long look at himself and his party,” he told reporters in response to PAS’ statement quoting Takiyuddin as saying that Anwar’s revelation is a strange and amusing alarmist statement.

Anwar on Tuesday revealed that he had received multiple ‘threats’ from Western countries following Malaysia’s firm stand on defending the rights of the Palestinian people as well as criticism levelled against the Israeli government. – Bernama, October 26, 2023.
