KUALA LUMPUR, April 27 -- PAS treasurer Datuk Iskandar Abdul Samad has denied accusations that he was attempting to influence Singapore's ongoing general election through his Facebook postings.

In a statement, Iskandar also slammed Singapore government's attempt to link his Islamist party and the opposition Workers' Party (WP) - calling it "preposterous and counterproductive".

"I do not believe my Facebook page is influential even in Malaysia and was shocked when it was blocked and cannot be accessed in the republic," he posted on Facebook.

"Therefore, I am still wondering what the true intention was, but I hope that it was not to link my party to the opposition as such attempt is preposterous and will be counterproductive."
