DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng is bemused as to why PAS politician Nasharuddin Mat Isa is "acting like an Umno agent", by asking for an apology over the DAP's stand against hudud law.

Speaking to reporters at the Parliament lobby today, Lim said the former PAS deputy president had always known DAP's stand, but had failed to raise the matter until now.

lim guan eng and dap "When he was deputy president he understood our stand and didn't have issues with it. So why does he have a problem with it now that he is no longer deputy president?” he said.

"I want to show his inconsistency...Now that he is no longer deputy president he is acting like an Umno agent and saying different things.”

Lim, who is also Penang chief minister, appeared confused over why he has been asked to apologise in the first place, advising Nasharuddin to instead ask Umno to disclose the party's stand on the hudud.

NONE He, however, declined to comment when asked if PAS should take action against Nasharuddin for asking for the apology.

Nasharuddin had earlier today asked Lim to apologise and retract his remarks.

The statement, which mirrors DAP's prior statements, said the hudud is not part of the Pakatan Rakyat policy.

Claiming it is Lim's first statement on the hudud since the long-standing controversy broke, Utusan Malaysia today reported that Lim stressed that hudud is not part of the Pakatan policy.
