BUTTERWORTH – Penang PAS has come out to defend its embattled Permatang Pauh MP Muhammad Fawwaz Mat Jan who is accused by political rivals of overstepping his role by reprimanding a shopping mall, here over the open sale of alcohol.
In a statement, today, Mohd Yusni Mat Piah, who is also the Penaga assemblyman and state PAS deputy commissioner III, said that Fawwaz had a right to inform the mall here, as he was only representing the interests of the Malay-Muslim majority within the vicinity.
In Permatang Pauh, Yusni disclosed that 74.49% of the voters are Muslims and it is his role as an elected representative to safeguard their sensitivities.
Furthermore, Yusni said the interests of the Muslims were not being defended by the DAP-led state government here.
