Penang PAS remains loyal to state, says Jagdeep
Penang PAS will not side with Kedah, despite their hesitancy in calling out their counterparts on Kedah’s demand for a higher “lease payment” for Penang, deputy chief minister Jagdeep Singh Deo said tonight.
“They are definitely with the state. I believe that. (What matters is) we stand strong and steadfast here in Penang,” he said while attending the state-level Deepavali open house.
Jagdeep, who is also Datuk Keramat assemblyman, was asked whether he would demand that the state’s 11 Perikatan Nasional assemblymen, including seven from PAS, clarify their stance on the issue at next week’s state assembly sessions.
On Thursday, Penang PAS information chief Fawwaz Jan said the case should be allowed to proceed through the proper legal channels without political interference or speculation that could “cloud the issue”.
