SEPANG: The political secretary to PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang has shared a cryptic Facebook post seemingly to ease concerns of party decisions being made without party-wide consent.
In his post, Mohd Syahir Che Sulaiman described “self-reflection” and “review” as normal processes, stressing that reassessments are common practice in governance and organisations.
“A review aims to assess all aspects, whether positive or negative.
“A period of reflection and space for consultation to correct and improve — what needs to be added, removed, maintained or replaced,” he said in his post on Sunday (May 24).
Addressing allegations that PAS is a party of “mullahs” or operates as a dictatorship, the party stressed that it practises syura and consultation, guided by the Quran and Sunnah as its highest sources.
“PAS has a ‘check and balance’ mechanism at every level, including over the Spiritual Leader (Mursyidul Am) and President; no one is exempt from scrutiny.
“PAS decisions are made collectively, from the grassroots to the central leadership and the Syura Council.
“This ensures PAS remains monitored and under control,” he said, ending the post with the cryptic message of “Trust the process”.
The post came shortly after a supposed PAS meeting to decide on its position surrounding its relationship with Bersatu following several disagreements within Perikatan Nasional.
