KUALA LUMPUR: PAS members have yet to receive any instructions whether to join the planned “Tangkap MO1” rally on Saturday.
Its assistant secretary Khairul Faizi Ahmad Kamil confirmed this while responding to a question during a press conference at the PAS headquarters here on Friday on whether the Islamist party had considered joining the rally.
"So far, there has been no instruction (concerning PAS' involvement in the rally), so I cannot comment on the issue," he said.
The rally is being organised by several youth groups to pressure the authorities to arrest and charge the “Malaysian Official 1” named in the US Justice Department’s civil suits in relation to 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) funds.
Earlier, the red-shirt group led by Sungai Besar Umno division chief Datuk Jamal Yunos had indicated that they may hold a counter-rally on the same day and at the same location as the "Tangkap MO1" protest.
Bersih 2.0 chairman Maria Chin Abdullah responded by saying that Bersih would have no problem facing the “red-shirts” as long as it remains peaceful.
