EGM, Seminar Was To Send A Message To PAS Members- Nik Aziz
KOTA BAHARU, Nov 8 (Bernama) -- PAS spiritual advisor Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat said his calling for an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) of the party was to send a message that support for PAS was waning.
He said although the EGM was replaced with a seminar, the original objective to relay the message was met and it was now up to the members to act accordingly.
"To me it does not matter it was an EGM or a seminar, what is important is that the message (of waning support for PAS) was conveyed," he said here when asked to comment on media reports on Sunday that there was declining support for PAS among youth.
The report said a survey carried by Universiti Malaya's media studies lecturer Assoc Prof Dr Abu Hassan Hasbullah showed 70 per cent of youth who were for PAS after the general election last year now felt otherwise.
PAS held the seminar in Kuala Lumpur yesterday in an effort to regain lost support.
