PAS president Datuk Seri Tuan Guru Abdul Hadi Awang has reminded Lim Kit Siang that it was not his party that caused the collapse of the Perak government in 2009.<\/p>\n
His comments come after his former DAP ally called the Islamist party a \u201czero\u201d earlier this week.<\/p>\n
The collapse and subsequent year-long constitutional impasse that ensued was the fault of DAP and PKR, Hadi said in a report in the New Sunday Times.<\/p>\n
\u201c(During the Perak constitutional crisis) the Perak government<\/p>\n
did not collapse because of PAS. It was because of DAP and PKR. You must remember that.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not zero. Did Perak collapse because PAS representatives party hopped? No. The state government fell because DAP representatives jumped ship,\u201d he was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n
The Perak crisis was triggered in February 2009 after three assemblymen \u2014 two from PKR and one from the DAP \u2014 defected, causing the then Pakatan Rakyat-led (PR) state government to collapse.<\/p>\n
Barisan Nasional (BN) then formed the new state government after Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak had an audience with the Sultan of Perak, together with 31 assemblymen who stated that they had no confidence in embattled PR mentri besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
