I'm too old to be PM material, says Hadi


ALOR SETAR: PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang says he is not qualified to be the next prime minister because of his age and health.

He said the role is better suited to those under age 70, who are strong, healthy and able to work with the people on the ground.
