Terengganu PAS today strongly denied making any offers to former menteri besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Said to join the party.

Instead, they claimed that it was Ahmad Said himself who had asked to join the party.

“In fact, he contacted us to join PAS,” said central committee member Syed Azman Syed Ahmad Nawawi, according to a Malaysiakini report.

Syed Azman said none of the PAS leaders had contacted Ahmad Said, and had simply adopted a 'wait and see' stance during the political crisis.

He said it was those from Ahmad Said's camp who contacted the party.

State party commissioner Ustaz Satiful Bahri Mamat reportedly said that Ahmad Said had a penchant of making “flip flop” decision, and they had already foreseen a U-turn on his decision of resigning from UMNO.

“Ahmad Said's credibility has never been very convincing as he has always been regarded as something of a ‘flip-flop individual’.

"PAS has never met with Ahmad Said and that statement is a lie. We have never offered him anything,” a report in The Malaysian Insider quoted Satiful as saying.

"If any offer was made, it should have been by me in my capacity as the state party commissioner,” he said.

Satiful said he personally did not speak to Ahmad either.

On Monday, Ahmad Said, who is also Kijal assemblyman, triggered the political crisis in Terengganu when he quit Umno hours after he was replaced by Ahmad Razif as the state's menteri besar.

Ahmad brought along with him two other state lawmakers, namely Ajil assemblyman Ghazali Taib, and Bukit Besi assemblyman Roslee Daud.

The move turned Barisan Nasional into a minority government where it stood the risk of losing administration of the state

On Wednesday, however, the three retracted their decision to quit UMNO and pledged allegiance to their party.

Their U-turn retuned to BN the majority of seats at the state assembly at 17 compared to Pakatan Rakyat’s 15.

In a press conference in his home in Kemaman on Wednesday, Ahmad claimed that PAS had tried to lure him into the party when he was an independent.
