Frail Nik Aziz skips muktamar – Bernama

PAS spiritual leader Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat (pic) is absent from the party's 60th muktamar, held for the first time in Johor, for health reason.

Although not present, the 83-year-old former Kelantan menteri besar still managed to deliver his message to the delegates today via live broadcast from Kelantan.

"A muktamar is something that is enjoined in Islam, so have a good discussion," he said through a few large screens put up in the conference hall where the party's annual assembly is being held in Parit Raja from today until Saturday.

Nik Aziz, however, said he would be helping the PAS machinery in the Pengkalan Kubor state seat by-election on September 25.

In the by-election, Barisan Nasional candidate Mat Razi Mat Ail is facing PAS candidate Wan Rosdi Wan Ibrahim and independent Izat Bukhary Ismail Bukhary. – Bernama, September 18, 2014.
