00:00The opposition leader should be determined by the majority of opposition MPs rather than by the Perikatan National Supreme Council,
00:09CNMP, and a Salangor PAS leader.
00:13Indara Makota MP Saifuddin Abdullah and Salangor PAS Deputy Information Chief Nurul Islam Yusuf denied that PAS President Abdul Hadi
00:22Awang was acting like PN's supreme leader in announcing Hamza Zainuddin's reappointment as the opposition leader yesterday.
00:30Saifuddin said Hadi was merely representing PAS as its president in stating the Islamic Party's official stand, especially since it
00:38has the largest number of MPs among parties.
00:41He said some claim the matter was a sign of a MOLAS system that would be used if PAS forms
00:47or leads the federal government, adding that it was a repetition of Green Wave propaganda aimed at frightening Malaysians.
00:54He added that 43 PAS MPs and 19 other MPs wanted Hamza to remain as opposition leader, saying this meant
01:0380% of the 69 opposition MPs supported him.
01:07Meanwhile, Nurul Islam agreed, saying Hamza's reappointment was consistent with parliamentary practice of opposition MPs selecting their leader in parliament.
