KUALA TERENGGANU: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak should carry on his job as prime minister because he was elected through a fair system, said PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang (pic).

"He should not succumb to pressure and he should be allowed to solve the problems he is facing.

"I agree with him that he should not to step down and I must say that he should be given a chance to finish his term," he said on Tuesday.

Abdul Hadi said that it was pointless to pressure the prime minister to step down due the controversies the Umno president was allegedly involved in such as 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).

"It is a shame to pressure him to step down as we should practice a healthy democracy system,” he said.

Abdul Hadi added that pressuring Najib to step down was a scenario that had happened during the leadership of the previous prime ministers.

"This is not entirely new. Before 1MBD, we also had problems with Perwaja (Steel Sdn Bhd) and Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) just to name a few," he said.
