PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang would do better to preach the use of hudud against the actors of 1MDB than to defend the scandal-plagued fund by citing foreign intervention, Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) Youth deputy chief Faiz Fadzil says.

"Is not robbing and stealing an offence under hudud, as clearly stated in the Quran?

"I am worried that the people's confidence in the fairness of hudud would be eroded by the PAS president's failure to act against those in power," Faiz said in a statement today.

He was responding to Hadi who, among others, viewed the US Department of Justice (DOJ) bid to seize US$1.7 billion in assets allegedly acquired using stolen 1MDB funds as a case of "foreign intervention"...
