KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 1 — PAS’ Ulama Council has confirmed it has received fresh membership applications from three former Perlis assemblymen whose party status was terminated during the state’s political turmoil late last year, Berita Harian reported.

The council said it had accepted new applications from Saad Seman (Chuping), Fakhrul Anwar Ismail (Bintong) and Mohd Ridzuan Hashim (Guar Sanji), effectively passing the matter to the party’s central leadership rather than treating it as a reinstatement.
