KOTA BARU, 13 November 2009: Kelantan Mentri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat has decided to cancel his haj (pilgrimage) to Mecca on Nov 18 following negative media coverage because a sponsor was paying RM65,000 for it.
The PAS spiritual adviser, who according to some reports was being investigated by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission over the sponsorship, told this to hundreds of his followers who had gathered at a street here on Friday for his weekly kuliah (lecture).
He said those who had slandered him would be answerable to God.
Earlier this week, he said it was all right to accept sponsorships from individuals to perform the haj, saying that this was not an act of corruption.
