Teresa Kok has criticised PAS President Abdul Hadi Awang's latest accusations against the DAP, describing the ongoing attacks as disappointing.

Seputeh MP Teresa Kok has dismissed fresh allegations levelled by PAS President Abdul Hadi Awang against the DAP, characterising the repeated attacks as regrettable. Hadi had claimed the opposition party expressed support for the Communist Party of Malaya and suggested that the Prevention of Terrorism Bill (RUU PSB) is designed to disadvantage poor Malays. Kok's comments reflect growing tension between the two parties over a series of accusations from PAS leadership targeting the DAP's policies and alleged ideological positions. The Seputeh lawmaker's rebuke underscores the deepening political friction within Malaysia's opposition landscape, as coalition partners continue to trade barbs over terrorism legislation and historical associations. The dispute comes amid broader debates in Parliament over national security measures and their potential socio-economic implications for vulnerable communities.
