A PAS parliamentarian has clarified that a controversial term used by the party's president was directed at a political approach rather than any individual, amid ongoing debate over conditional aid distribution.

Pasir Mas MP Ahmad Fadhli Shaari said the terminology in question referred to the conditional nature of political support linked to fund allocation, rather than targeting a specific person. The clarification comes as PAS seeks to address criticism surrounding remarks made by party leadership regarding the Conditional Support Agreement (CSA). According to Fadhli, the language used was meant to critique what the party views as a problematic mechanism where financial disbursements are contingent upon political backing. PAS has been defending its position on the CSA framework, which has become a focal point of political tension in Malaysia's coalition government arrangements. The party's lawmakers have been tasked with explaining the party's stance on the agreement to members and the public.
