Following the dismissal of two Bersatu leaders, PAS Treasurer-General Iskandar Samad has refuted claims that the party is acting as a “steel fist” or exerting undue influence. Samad stated that the actions taken regarding Dr. Sam pecat Radzi and Azmin Ali were based on the constitution and party regulations. He emphasized that the decisions were made according to established procedures, not through arbitrary power. This clarification comes amidst scrutiny over the circumstances surrounding the removal of the two figures. The statement aims to dispel perceptions of political maneuvering and reinforce PAS’s commitment to adhering to its internal governance structures. Samad’s response seeks to maintain stability within the ruling coalition and address concerns about potential fractures.
