With Najib in, Hadi withdraws unity government offer

PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang has withdrawn his offer to form a unity government now that the country has a new prime minister, admitting the idea had been strongly opposed within the Islamist party.
The proposal, made last month, was publicly opposed by the party’s spiritual advisor Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, who wanted the matter to be referred to the PAS annual general assembly in June.
Hadi said with the change of leadership from Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to Datuk Seri Najib Razak, the idea was no longer tenable.
“I made the suggestion to Abdullah because we see him as a leader with the least problems, but I don’t see any such Umno leader now,” Hadi told The Malaysian Insider yesterday.
