PM unsure if 'PAS leaks' document real or fake
Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said there is no certainty if the so-called PAS leaks document is real.
This was amid a push from his fellow leaders in Umno for clarity over the document, which allegedly revealed a conspiracy against the party.
"We don't know whether the document is fake or real," Ismail Sabri told reporters in Putrajaya today when asked for comment.
The "leaked document" is a purported summary of meetings between PAS vice-president Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar and secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan with other political figures from Bersatu, Pejuang and Umno between March 24 and April 7.
According to the document, Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin told the PAS leaders that “the attorney-general and chief justice have agreed to expedite the case and sentencing” of Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak.
It also discussed Ismail Sabri's future as prime minister.
The document was reportedly spreading among political circles for days but gained prominence when it was published by a website known as Malaysia Hot.
Samsuri had admitted to meeting some of the people named in the conspiracy but said the document itself was fake and even his name was spelled wrong.
The judiciary also denied colluding to expedite Zahid and Najib's cases.
Separately, PAS vice-president Idris Ahmad told reporters at Putrajaya today that the party never discussed matters as contained in the documents.
Perikatan Nasional secretary-general Hamzah Zainudin - who was also named in the document - rubbished the document as well.
"I have never done such things (plotted to bring down people), that is not my job," he was quoted as saying by Sinar Harian.
Hamzah is alleged to be one of the masterminds of the “Sheraton Move” which collapsed the Pakatan Harapan government.
