“We’ll leave the next steps to Bukit Aman,” Syahir told reporters at the PAS headquarters in Kuala Lumpur.
“Tuan Guru (Hadi) gave his statement.
“He read the inspector-general of police’s remarks yesterday, as well as the home minister’s statement,” said Syahir.
Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain yesterday confirmed a probe against Hadi.
Inspector-General of Police Razarudin HusainHome Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail also said Hadi’s remarks - published on the PAS news portal on Feb 20 and allegedly addressed to several parties including the Malay rulers - were being investigated by a ministry task force for touching on race, religion, and royalty.
Meanwhile, Syahir did not reveal the nature of “several pages” of questions posed to Hadi.
He however pledged full cooperation, depending on Hadi’s health condition.
“Tuan Guru is doing well now. Recently he had some health issues, preventing him from attending the opening of the Parliament session,” he added.
Hadi’s letter to sultan
Syahir also declined to reveal further details on the contents of Hadi’s letter yesterday to Selangor ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.
