PETALING JAYA : PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang’s absence at tonight’s Perikatan Nasional party presidents meeting at Muhyiddin Yassin’s residence has given rise to speculation that it is a sign the party may leave the coalition soon. The source said every PN component president was present except for Hadi, although the reason for his absence was not immediately known. Earlier, Malaysian Indian People’s Party president P Punithan said the gathering was a “pre-council meeting” ahead of the PN Supreme Council meeting to discuss the way forward for the coalition. A PN Supreme Council meeting was supposed to confirm Muhyiddin’s resignation as coalition chairman on Jan 1 and appoint his successor. However, this was cancelled after Muhyiddin called for a meeting with the PN party presidents.
