PETALING JAYA: Pas Youth chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari says he found it “strange” to see Terengganu Pas Youth members marching to an event with swords, spears and shields.
It is understood that the march took place on Friday in Setiu, Terengganu, at the start of the two-day Pas youth gathering known as Himpunan Pemuda Islam Terengganu (Himpit).
Fadhli said he was only invited for the event’s launch and was unaware of the march.
“I just saw the pictures this morning, and I find it strange,” Fadhli told FMT.
“I didn’t join them,” he said when asked to comment about the Pas members marching with swords and spears.
“You can check with the Terengganu Pas youth chief if you want to find out more about this.”
FMT has reached out to Terengganu Pas Youth chief Harun Esa for comment.
FMT has also reached out to Terengganu police chief Rohaimi Md Isa to find out whether any permits were required, and obtained, for the march.
Earlier today, pictures of a crowd of men believed to be Pas members marching with swords, spears and shields went viral on social media.
A check on Terengganu Pas Youth’s Facebook page showed a picture of a crowd of men marching with swords, spears and shields with Pas flags in the background.
The Facebook page also showed that Pas president Abdul Hadi Awang was among those who attended the event.
Among the other activities that were held over the two days were football and sepak takraw matches, and a convoy of motorcycles carrying Pas flags.
