A PAS lawmaker has advised Dr Mahathir Mohamad against elevating his son Mukriz in the political arena, as the former premier might end up firing him as well.

Nik Abduh Nik Abdul Aziz unleashed this sarcastic salvo in response to Mahathir's remarks regarding his late father and PAS spiritual adviser Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat.

The Pasir Mas MP said while Mahathir managed to vanquish all his political foes, he was unable to defeat the political struggle of Nik Aziz.

"Mahathir's vengeance has not ended. Perhaps Allah wills it as such similar to how his vengeance and hatred towards PAS continues," he told Harakahdaily.
