MELAKA – PAS has denied issuing a statement dismissing Datuk Mas Ermieyati Samsudin’s nomination as the Perikatan Nasional (PN) candidate for the Melaka chief minister’s post.
PAS deputy president Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said the statement bearing the party’s Shura Ulama Council letterhead being circulated on social media is fake.
“I ask those responsible for this slander to withdraw the false statement and stay away from disgraceful acts caused by selfishness,” he said in a statement tonight.
Earlier, a media statement attributed to the PAS Shura Ulama Council claimed the party does not support the candidacy of Mas Ermieyati as chief minister if PN won the state election.
Yesterday, PN chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced the nomination of the Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Parliament and Law) as its chief minister candidate. – Bernama, November 20, 2021
