What Hadi Swore In Court Before GE14 and What He Says Now

Just before the last election, on 17th April 2018, Hadi produced a witness statement to the UK High Court making a series of claims that are now proven to have been totally untrue.

He claimed, for example, that the case was brought entirely to vindicate his own ‘reputation’ in the UK and not that of his party PAS (which would not have been accepted as a claimant in a libel case). Yet, earlier this month he spoke publically acknowledging the case had been brought in his name only for the reason that PAS could not bring a case.

On top of that lie he told another, which was that there has been no change of policy on the part of PAS after the death of Spiritual Leader Nik Aziz and that the party remains as implacably opposed to UMNO under his own leadership as it had been before. Yet, this week we see a formal coalition cemented between the parties, which have been blatantly collaborating for months, whilst pretending not to.

Indeed, it has emerged that the deposits for the record number of seats that PAS contested in the last election were paid for thanks to over RM3 million in cash deposited in PAS bank accounts by an agent of the UMNO treasurer Salleh Keruak.

Sarawak Report has obtained documents, which it was ready to place before the court, showing that RM2.5 million was deposited by the gentleman on 21st March 2018 and it has now been confirmed to this site that this money was used to secure the seat deposits.

Going further, in this very same witness statement Hadi claimed that PAS had vigorously criticised UMNO over the 1MDB scandal and was by no means seeking to avoid confronting Najib over this and other corruption issues. In fact, we can now see that Hadi has no problem signing an alliance with the same set of criminal politicians led by Najib himself, even as they face dozens of charges over 1MDB and other thefts.

Hadi maintained, of course, in the same sworn document that none of these deceits were owing to PAS being funnelled money by UMNO, even though every single other political ally of the party has received huge sums in support thanks to Najib’s policy of throwing stolen public money at buying elections.

Yet his own right hand man Nik Abduh has now confirmed all the existing evidence to the contrary by acknowledging a recording where he told PAS leaders that the party hierachy had accepted millions from UMNO. He has also confirmed that Hadi told him to lie about that recording and say it was a fake.

Sarawak Report believes in telling the truth, not ‘holy lies’.

There is a saying, which is that sooner or later the truth will catch up with you and another saying, which is that the truth will prevail. We suggest that the PAS leadership will be reminded that this is also a tenet of their own beliefs sooner rather than later.
