    COMMENT | PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang has made a serious claim. At the muktamar, Hadi alleged that during then-US president Barack Obama’s 2014 visit to Malaysia, representatives at the US embassy offered assistance to PAS to help bring down the BN government. He further claimed that, after that meeting, the US ambassador requested a separate meeting with him and asked whom PAS would propose as prime minister. The US embassy has issued a statement saying that the US has never sought to decide

He won in Lobak, moved to Chennah, became the MP for Seremban, rose to lead DAP and eventually became one of the most visible, and arguably most successful, ministers in the federal government. The result was not entirely unexpected. Loke himself had... COMMENT | DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke has lost Chennah. T
