PETALING JAYA: Police have decided to postpone taking a statement from PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang over a speech in which he allegedly questioned the Pardons Board.

Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain confirmed the matter with Utusan Malaysia. He said police were told Hadi was unwell.

“The police officer was informed by Hadi’s aide that Hadi was still unwell and asked for the questioning to be deferred,” he was quoted as saying.

Hadi was scheduled to have his statement taken at his office this evening.

On Monday, it was reported that Hadi was being investigated under the Sedition Act after he allegedly questioned the Pardons Board’s authority to pardon convicted criminals.

PETALING JAYA: Was PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang unwell today, a PKR leader has asked, on news that Hadi had a meeting with former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad hours after a police interview with him was postponed because he was said to be unwell.

PKR deputy information chief Razeef Rakimin wondered if the excuse of ill health had been given in order for Hadi to avoid being investigated over a speech in which he had allegedly questioned the Pardons Board.

“Hadi’s actions can be construed as trying to fool the authorities. I hope the police would not be duped by such tactics,” he said in a statement.

Hadi was photographed at a meeting with Mahathir this evening, accompanied by menteris besar Shukri Ramli (Perlis), Sanusi Nor (Kedah), Nassuruddin Daud (Kelantan), Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar (Terengganu), and PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan.
