PAS treasurer Iskandar Abdul Samad (left) told members to ignore comments by Puad Zarkashi, saying the party ignored him even when he was an Umno Supreme Council member.PETALING JAYA: PAS does not need to hold the opposition leader’s post, as the party has 43 MPs to advance its agenda in the lower house, Iskandar Abdul Samad said.
The PAS treasurer said although the opposition leader has traditionally been accorded more time on the floor, the number of MPs the Islamic party has allows them to address various issues and promote its stance.
Earlier today, former Umno Supreme Council member Puad Zarkashi, who quit Umno earlier this year, suggested that PAS take over the role of opposition leader from Hamzah Zainudin, who is Wawasan president.
