Hadi claps back over claims PN was funded by gambling money


PETALING JAYA: People who live in glass houses should not throw stones, PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang says in response to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's remarks suggesting that Perikatan Nasional was funded by gambling revenue.

In a statement issued Wednesday (Dec 7), Abdul Hadi said the PAS state government shut gambling premises in Kelantan in the 1990s, but claimed that licences to gamble were being issued by Anwar himself, who was finance minister then.
