“It’s nonsense. We have no problems (with Bersatu),” he told FMT.

Amar said PN’s logo had been “blurred out” to ensure that the focus was on the person giving the speech.

“Blurring out the background is normal, so what’s the issue?”

Earlier today, FMT reported Azmi Hassan, a fellow at the National Council of Professors, as saying that the discord between PAS and Bersatu appeared to be “more evident” after the photographs were posted by Amar.

Azmi said the frayed relations between the two PN components surfaced during the Kuala Kubu Baharu by-election two months ago.

He also said Amar’s photographs lent credence to suggestions that PAS might be engaged in “talks” about working with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s unity government, although PN and Pakatan Harapan leaders had since denied such rumours.

Amar, the Kelantan state assembly speaker, had on June 24 posted several photographs of himself speaking at a ceramah during the Sungai Bakap by-election campaign.

The PN banner was pixelated in six of the photographs.
