Media glare too much for PAS deputy chief

PETALING JAYA: PAS deputy president Nasharudin Mat Isa has not gone missing as alleged by some parliamentarians.

Nasharudin said yesterday he was “quite overwhelmed” by the recent spin over proposed unity government talks.

“I decided to stay away from the prying eyes of the media for a while,” he said, explaining why he had been staying away from Parliament for several days following the reversal of the decision to hold unity talks between PAS and Umno.

Nasharudin was a major proponent of the talks.

His absence resulted in Deputy Education Minister Dr Puad Zarkashi saying that someone should lodge a missing persons report. Nasharudin said he would appear in Parliament on Monday “if all is well.” – The Star
