Recording of Nik Abduh taken out of context, says Pas sec-gen

-

KOTA BARU: An audio recording on the alleged millions of ringgit Pas received from Umno is acknowledg­ed to be that of Nik Mohamad Abduh Nik Abdul Aziz.

Pas secretary-general Datuk Takiyuddin Hassan said the context of the speech by the Pas central committee member, however, was not how it had been sensationa­lised.

He said one should have scrutinise­d the whole of Nik Abduh’s speech to understand its true intent, instead of taking only certain parts of it.

“When we listen to the recording, we have to listen to the entire speech to understand what he meant, not just a portion of it because that’s when things can go wrong.

“For example, when Nik Abduh said that (the late) Nik Abdul Aziz had received money from Umno, what he meant was not Umno money directly, but the money donated by Umno for the Maahad Darul Anuar school,” he said.

Nik Abduh has been associated with an audio recording allegedly acknowledg­ing that Pas had received millions of ringgit from Umno, which he has denied.
