YOURSAY 'Otherwise PAS will lose the non-Malay support beyond repair.'

Is a revolt brewing against Hadi in PAS?

Mohan 53: It is better for Pakatan Rakyat and PAS if its president Hadi Awang goes. He has lost the plot, joined the enemy and is a traitor to the Pakatan coalition.

If not for him, the Selangor crisis would not be prolonged to this extent. It’s time the progressives in PAS like deputy president Mohamad Sabu, Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad, etc, make the call.

Abasir: Hadi has actually done Malaysians a favour. He has effectively exposed the essence of PAS as a double-dealing, conniving cabal parading its 16th century prejudices as 21st century virtues.

He has single-handedly demonstrated to Malaysians that he and his ilk have no place in a country struggling to keep its place in the civilised world.

Cry, My Beloved Country: How can you ever trust Hadi again in any leadership position at any level? What on earth are his words, commitments and public stance worth, when measured against supposedly private workings?

This is a defining moment for the party, where hopefully good sense will eventually prevail and loyalty will be affirmed.

Kim Quek: The last such 'PAS-Umno unity' attempt by Hadi and company after GE12 in 2008 was decisively stopped by an infuriated party spiritual leader Nik Aziz Nik Mat when the latter requested for a special party general meeting to axe these rebels.

Now, six years later, the same drama is repeated. I just wonder what Nik Aziz would think of Hadi now. Would he continue to support him with the same zeal as he did upon hearing that Hadi had wanted Khalid Ibrahim to stay on as MB?

Or would he make a reversal upon hearing the latest 'unity' attempt? Is Nik Aziz’s revulsion against such 'unity' intact? The answers to these would have an important impact on the outcome of the current brewing anger against Hadi.

Fair&Just: The Islamic values of Hadi are the same as those hypocrites in Umno. Hadi may as well join Umno for many, many of us now regard him as a Trojan Horse in Pakatan.

Ferdtan: Why wait until the muktamar scheduled for Sept 18 or even later at next year's polls to oust Hadi Awang who prefers Umno more than the Pakatan alliance? Do it now and kill two birds with one stone.

Get as many of the remaining Selangor PAS representatives (if they have enough support) to issue a statement to support one candidate, PKR president Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, in defiance to the direct order of the party president of submitting more than one name.

This will embarrass Hadi Awang, forcing the issue for all PAS members to act (or react). The problem in PAS has reached such a state whereby non-action or an uneasy truce will kill the party permanently.

With this action, the Selangor MB stalemate will be solved automatically and Hadi Awang be for the time being sidelined, or may be forced to resign if more PAS leaders were to join in the informal party 'coup'.

As long as Hadi Awang remains as president we will not vote for PAS - we have completely lost confidence in his leadership.

Jiminy Qrikert: It really does not matter if there is no groundswell against Hadi in PAS. There is already a mega groundswell against PAS in Pakatan. Even if Hadi is ousted now, PAS is finished in Selangor and all the non-Malay heartland states.

Non-Malays have been betrayed and played out so often by Malay supremacist leaders and politicians that we will no longer forgive nor forget. The only little that we can do to teach these ‘ketuanan Melayu’ racists and bigots like Hadi a lesson is to vote them out in the GE.

The non-Malay tsunami in GE14 will wash PAS out from Selangor and the other progressive states, and send it back to the Kelantan backwaters.

Quigonbond: Party convention dictates the PAS president must be from the ulama faction - well, it's time to change that isn't it? After all, it is the ulama faction that does not sit well within Pakatan.

PAS grassroots must start thinking whether they want a more inclusive PAS which is at the mainstream Malaysian politics, working side by side their brethrens in PKR and DAP, or they want to be stuck in Kelantan as a strong, conservative, state party.

Wsoi: The intelligent PAS members must realise that Hadi has to go if PAS wants to emerge strong and trusted by DAP and PKR.

PAS and PKR have different ideologies but the intellectuals from both parties can iron them out if they work honestly and pragmatically.

Mushiro: PAS must be prepared to sacrifice Hadi who has been very inconsistent and not in sync with Pakatan, for PAS to survive. Otherwise, PAS will lose the non-Malay support.

Unspin: If PAS is still in the Pakatan coalition when the next election comes around, my friends and I would like to see a shadow cabinet being formulated before deciding which party to vote for.

If Pakatan cannot name a shadow cabinet, then it does not have the moral high ground to talk about transparency and democracy.

Voters should not be led down the garden path only to be fooled by dishonest politicians who have ulterior motives.

My Opinion: With 15 seats in a single state and already PAS is drooling over the MB’s post. How much worse will PAS behave if Pakatan takes over Putrajaya?
