Holidaying Amid Crisis Is What Certain Pas Mb Would Do Says Amirudin S Aide

---

A PAS leader’s mocking call for Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari to take a break from dealing with the Putra Heights fire has drawn rebukes from the latter’s political secretary.
Amirudin’s aide, Saifuddin Shafi Muhammad, said PAS information chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari should instead reflect on what a menteri besar from the party did during a past crisis.
“Usually, taking a vacation during a crisis is something a menteri besar from PAS would do, looking at a certain state from the east coast.
“At a time of crisis, PAS leaders can still offer unintelligent opinions. It just shows that some people are more interested in politicking instead of helping out,” Saifuddin (above) said in a statement today.
While he did not mention any names, Saifuddin was likely referring to Terengganu Menteri Besar Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, who apologised to the public for not being “present” when a massive flood hit the state in December 2022.
Terengganu Menteri Besar Ahmad Samsuri MokhtarSamsuri was in New Zealand with his family for a trip when the massive floods struck Terengganu.
Earlier today, Fadhli sarcastically urged Amirudin Shari to take a break after the latter accused the party of defamation and manipulation of facts.
“With this response from the Selangor menteri besar, I think it is better for him to go on vacation.
“Take a period of time to calm down, make a TikTok video. Leave it to the police and other related departments to make the next statement,” the Pasir Mas MP added.
Lacking empathy
Taking Fadhli to task, Saifuddin berated the former for playing politics at the expense of the Putra Heights fire incident.
PAS information chief Ahmad Fadhli ShaariHe added that Fadhli’s call was not only unwise but also reflects his lack of empathy for those affected.
“Amirudin refused to ‘rest’ during a crisis and has been on the field since the first day of the incident.
“Not only was he monitoring the search and rescue operations, but also coordinating efforts with multiple agencies and visiting those affected.
“And he works based on the principle of fulfilling his responsibilities, not political script,” he added.
Saifuddin then told Fadhli: “If you can’t help, then at least don’t become an obstacle… the people are watching.” - Mkini
