KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 30 — PAS will not take part in the state executive council (Exco) that will be formed by the newly appointed Perlis menteri besar, as a sign of solidarity to Mohd Shukri Ramli, the party said today.

In a statement, PAS secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan said the decision was made after the party’s central leadership reviewed and considered the current situation involving the Perlis state government and Perikatan Nasional (PN).
