KUALA LUMPUR, June 16 – PAS deputy president Nasharudin Mat Isa today denied that he had distanced himself from Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin's action in Parliament yesterday, but refused to say whether he supports the Bukit Gantang MP.
Yesterday, the Agenda Daily news website reported that Nasharudin had said the party central leadership did not agree with Nizar's action.
The former Perak mentri besar was suspended for two days with six other Pakatan Rakyat (PR) lawmakers for wearing headbands bearing the words “Bubar DUN” and chanting “Hidup Rakyat.”
Nasharudin clarified that he had said that the party leadership was not informed of Nizar's plan after the swearing-in ceremony.
He added that PAS would have been better prepared if Nizar had briefed the party.
“I was also surprised,” said Nasharudin.
“It has happened, so we just accept it as it is,” he added.
Nasharudin described Nizar's action as spontaneous and that he had succeeded in publicising the Perak political crisis through his action.
The PAS chief whip also said that no disciplinary action will be taken against Nizar.

Datuk Seri Nizar is a fighter for democracy (esp Perak). He lived up to his name as Datuk Seri. My support will be with him.

What's wrong with Nizar's action in parliment? He's just fighting for what was robbed from us - our democracy. Please note that Perakians firmly stand behind our people's elected MB. Shame on you Nasharudin for not supporting the people of Perak!!

my goodness. PAS leader talked like an UMNO leader. Nik Aziz was right to say that those who promote Unity Talk are akin to UMNO Puppet. This is one typical example..PAS is going to become thorn in PR in the next 2 years with this kind of leader at its helm.

wht u expect? He will be soon one of those BN/UMNO goons. Not to forget, DS Nizar is fighting for the betterment of the ppl. To me, Nasharudin, u hv no balls!! U not qualified to be classified as elite Ulama....coz u hv hidden agenda with you master alias Hadi. When being questioned of unity government allegation, you and Hadi now turned into folk tounge.....You have no principle, you and ur master are disgraced to PAS. I am Chinese, I voted PAS becoz I see some potential in PAS but with you and ur master hadi around, I think I hd better think twice....I worry both you and hadi will defect the whole PAS to the sinking BeEnd-UNNO.....to all the Chinese, if you agreed with me, vote me up.

Datuk Seri Nizar should have rode on his elevated fame courtesy of the Perak state fiasco and offered himself to the party for the deputy president post. An Anwar-Nizar ticket would be formidable in the next GE.

What is wrong with the respected Datuk Nizar to voice out for the people of Perak ? By observation , I doubt that PAS is really serious with Pakatan, or is it just an apple polishing act for Nasharudin to please his dreamed boss (UMNO)?
He is against our will, and we don't need him here ....Anyway !

What Nizar did was not a major political move, it will not jeopardise the PR or even damage PAS. Nizar's action was transparent and for the rakyat.
Nasharudin on the other hand has engaged in discussion with UMNO in secret, with some hidden agendas which has now created a lot of bickering both in PAS and the PR coalition.
Nasharudin should have shown more maturity and more statesmanship by refraining from commenting on Nizar's action since he is an old leaf and Nizar is a young shoot in PAS.

What Nizar did was totally right and have all our support cause he really fight for all Malaysians except Amno. What is wrong with that? Nasharudin, can you do better than him? Maybe getting engage to Amno is what is right for you. What have you done? Looking at what you are give PR no confidence.
Nizar please dont care two hoots about this fellow and do what you think is right for the rakyat. We will be with you no matter which party you are from. Maybe, PKR? Only a suggestion. Up with Nizar and PR.

Bro Nasha,
You fight for "bersekongkol" with UMNO for your own gain. Bro. Nizar fights UMNO for the people. Your work rate is no where near Nizar.
If Nizar were to chllange you for the Deputy President post for PAS, we PAS members will vote Nizar anytime!

There was absolutely nothing wrong with what Nizar & his PR colleagues did in the parliament yesterday, it was a pure and simple 'demonstration of will' against the power-grab in Perak. It was a 'back-door nationalization of sorts' which Umno/BN is so capable of doing, again and again.
Watch the latest developments in Iran for similar incidence happening in next GE. Only the power crazy politicians would think of something to deprive the people of their democratic rights to choose their government.

DS Nizar has every right to do what he did in Parliment. We Rakyat support him and wouldn't expect him to sit like a coward after swearing in. This is the kind of leader we want - Speak up for what is RIGHT. That is why Rakyat voted him there for. Anyone who condemns his actions in Parliment, is akin to condemning DEMOCRACY.

The former engineer just lost his brand new Camry and the key to quary & timber concessions. So guys, give him some leeway. The tantrum thrown in Parliament was just a message he carried for his bosses Ngeh & Nga. He's just carrying out orders. So please spare him the blame.
