PETALING JAYA:
PAS’s syura council has accepted the appeals of three Perlis assemblymen whose party memberships were terminated last month after they allegedly withdrew support for then Perlis menteri besar Shukri Ramli.

PAS spiritual leader Hashim Jasin told FMT the appeals submitted by Saad Seman, Fakhrul Anwar Ismail and Ridzuan Hashim will now be submitted to PAS’s central leadership for review.

In a Facebook post earlier, PAS Ulama Council chief Ahmad Yahaya said the syura council declined to decide on the appeal as the matter was not within its jurisdiction.

The seats of Ridzuan (Guar Sanji), Fakhrul (Bintong) and Saad (Chuping) were declared vacant after PAS terminated their memberships.

Hashim previously said that while he did not oppose the punishment imposed by the PAS central working committee, he felt the decision was made too hastily as it was not referred to the syura council for deliberation.

He said any disciplinary action should reflect Islamic wisdom and an educational approach when judging wrongdoing.
