Hadi attacks DAP lawmakers as PM prepares major announcements
PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang has launched a sharp verbal attack against four DAP parliamentarians, calling them 'uneducated Malays,' as Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim prepares to deliver a series of significant announcements throughout the day.

The latest exchange reflects ongoing political tensions within Malaysia's coalition government. Hadi's remarks targeting the DAP quartet come amid broader disagreements between coalition partners on policy matters and representation issues.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is scheduled to make several major announcements at key intervals throughout Wednesday. The timing of the government statements appears designed to set the news agenda, though specific details of the planned announcements remain unclear pending official releases.
The developments highlight the fragile dynamics within Malaysia's multi-party governing coalition, where tensions between component parties—particularly between the Islamist PAS and the primarily Chinese-based DAP—frequently surface despite their formal alliance. Such exchanges have become increasingly common as the coalition navigates policy differences and jockeys for political positioning ahead of future electoral contests.
News updates are expected at 9am, 2pm, 6pm, and 9pm as further details emerge throughout the day.
