PETALING JAYA: The tables could have turned on PAS’ outspoken Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad.
The central committee member, who has been calling for action against Selangor PAS commissioner Datuk Dr Hasan Ali over his criticism of the state assembly’s Select Committee for Competency, Accoun- tability and Transparency (Selcat), could now face the party’s disciplinary action himself.
Party sources said the Selangor PAS management committee had decided last Saturday to refer Khalid to the party’s disciplinary committee for making statements which “did not reflect the party’s stand and grassroots sentiments.”
It is learnt that the committee would soon write to secretary-general Datuk Mustafa Ali calling for action against Khalid.
Selangor PAS liaison committee secretary Khairuddin Othman, when contacted, declined to confirm the matter. “But wait and see,” he said.
Khalid had called on Dr Hasan to resign over his recent outbursts against Selcat and over several other issues that was not consistent with Pakatan Rakyat’s stand.
Khairuddin said the potentially damaging statements were being scrutinised. He said the Selangor PAS Youth wing would stand firm behind Dr Hasan who had merely made a constructive criticism to improve Selcat procedures.
Khairuddin also confirmed that Dr Hasan had the firm support of the Selangor PAS liaison committee.
Last night, Khalid told mStar that he stands by the fact that he did no wrong and is ready to face the PAS central disciplinary committee.
Khalid said he did not know if there are any efforts by Selangor PAS to refer him to the disciplinary committee.
