'Better vote for non-Muslims than prop up cruel BN'
It is better for Muslim Pakatan supporters to vote in non-Muslim opposition candidates then support Muslim candidates from pro-establishment groups like Isma or Berjasa, said Selangor PAS commissioner Dr Abdul Rani Osman.
This is because they will only assure the ascendancy of a "cruel" party like BN.

"I will just repeat PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang's decision on this - very clear, very simple.
"If voting for a Muslim candidate will help a cruel party, it is better to vote for non-Muslims from Pakatan," Abdul Rani ( right ) said at a press conference in Shah Alam today.
Deputy state PAS commissioner Khalid Samad, who was also there, believes this is an attempt to split Muslim votes of Pakatan supporters.
"These candidates from Isma or Berjasa, they will not win, their function is to steal PAS votes," he said.
The opposition has long accused the BN of sponsoring independent candidates in by-elections and general elections to dilute support for their candidates.
Meanwhile, when asked about Malay rights NGO Perkasa vice-president Zulkifli Nordin who is said to be inclined to contest in Shah Alam, state PAS deputy commissioner Khalid Samad, who was also at the press conference, welcomed the move.
“I say to him Ahlan wa sahlan (welcome in arabic), but I am sure that the people of Shah Alam can judge maturely for themselves,” he said.
