PUTRAJAYA - The Prime Minister has advised Pas secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan not to be so hasty in taking legal action against him.

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said he as the Finance Minister has all the files and information.

"He didn't read it. Takiyuddin, don't be so hasty," he said at a press conference in the Finance Ministry, here, on Tuesday.

Earlier today, Pas demanded Anwar to provide evidence that Perikatan Nasional (PN) had received fundings from gaming companies for the recent general election.

Takiyuddin said the party regrets the prime minister's slanderous accusations that implied PN's election campaign had been funded by gaming companies.

"The accusation is baseless and Pas demands that the prime minister provide clear evidence on the wild accusation. If he fails to do so, PN will consider taking legal action," said Takiyuddin was reported as saying.

Yesterday, Anwar appeared to imply that PN's election funds partly came from gaming companies involved with special draws.
