00:00PAS has denied its 43 MPs are supporting Laird MP Hamza Zainuddin to stay on as opposition leader,
00:08despite his sacking from Bersatu in February.
00:12PAS Deputy President Tuan Abraham Tuan Man said the party has already decided to take over the role,
00:19with Hamza's replacement to be named soon.
00:22He said the new opposition leader would be named before the next Dewan Rakyat meeting in June,
00:28Utusan Malaysia reported.
00:31Previously, Bersatu's Tadamir MP Iqmal Hisham Abdul Aziz claimed that a majority of the 69 opposition MPs
00:38wanted Hamza to continue leading the bloc in the Dewan Rakyat.
00:44Iqmal claimed that this included all of PAS's MPs and 13 of Bersatu's 19 MPs.
00:51However, Bersatu President Muhyiddin Yassin's loyalists had urged PAS to name the new opposition leader swiftly,
00:58insisting that Hamza had lost the credibility to remain in the role after being sacked from the party.
