YOURSAY ‘Please don't try to pin blame on PKR for ‘stealing your people’.’
PAS leader explains Hadi's bid to poach Azmin
NewMalaysia: PAS now wants to talk about betrayal? Just answer me this simple question first, who have violated the Pakatan Rakyat consensus that PKR has the right to the MB’s post in Selangor?
Everything would be fine has PAS upheld the consensus. If you cannot even keep to such a simple consensus, then it’s better to leave Pakatan.
Those two Aduns (state assemblypersons) from PAS who supported PKR president Wan Azizah Wan Ismail as MB have more dignity than the whole of PAS.
How ignorant and foolish to claim PKR has stolen two PAS Aduns when PAS themselves chose to betrayed PKR and DAP.
Proarte: Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad has gone down in my estimation as he has given an utterly nonsensical reason to justify PAS' act of betrayal and deceit.
The rakyat are tired of self-serving politicians who use Islam as a cover for their unholy modus operandi. If PAS had agreed to have Wan Azizah and PKR deputy president Azmin Ali as candidates, then how can producing a statutory declaration saying that they support Wan Azizah be seen as a 'betrayal'?
The only party doing the betraying is PAS, as it lied about its support for Wan Azizah. If Muslim ulama like Hadi and his ilk in the syura council cannot speak the truth, then it shows that Islam has yet again been betrayed by the very people who should be upholding its sanctity.
Onyourtoes: Khalid Samad, please don't talk nonsense. In the first place, PKR did not steal the two PAS Aduns.
These two gentlemen were able to see the baloney of their own party clearly than most of you. If PAS had not tried to dilly dally, the "stealing" of the two PAS Aduns would not have arisen.
Where was the attempt to sideline PAS? To me, it was PAS having an ambition bigger than its capability.
Kim Quek: If Khalid Samad is correct on Hadi’s attempt to entice Azmin over to PAS, presumably to become MB (which can only be feasible with Umno’s support), then Hadi is not fit to be the president of PAS, in fact, of any party.
First, the two PAS Aduns who supported Wan Azizah as MB were not “stolen” by PKR; neither did they betray PAS. They were in truth saviour of Pakatan, as without their support, the Selangor assembly might have been dissolved, causing an election in which PAS will be clobbered, and Pakatan might have lost to BN.
Second, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to believe that once Wan Azizah becomes MB, she will leave out PAS from the state executive council. Only a mentally problematic person would believe that.
After this debacle by Hadi in this Selangor MB row, there is no credibility left in him to continue as a leader in a democratic country. So, just let him go to save PAS, Pakatan and the future of Malaysia.
Jiminy Qrikert: Khalid Samad, is it acceptable to you to have a minority Malay government or are you yourself no different from the rest of the Malay supremacists who cannot accept the richest and most advanced state in Malaysia under non-Malay majority leadership?
Also, why do you participate in perpetuating this lie that DAP wants to be the majority in the government of Selangor? Are you in reality just another closet Malay supremacist who cannot accept yet another non-Malay-led government in addition to Penang?
If you are not, then this is a terribly weak excuse at defending Hadi's betrayal of DSAI (Anwar Ibrahim), a Malay, and PKR, a Malay-dominated party. Stop using DAP and the non-Malays as the fall guys.
Mushiro: If Hadi feared that Pakatan will form a government with the 30 Aduns thus forming a non-Malay majority government, then he could have thrown in the remaining PAS Aduns behind Pakatan.
This will not only give the same Malay-majority Pakatan government as earlier but will also consolidate the Pakatan position and solve the MB issue and giving credit to PAS too.
But Hadi preferred to 'steal' Azmin and bank on Umno support to form the state government, which also mean that Hadi has already negotiated with Umno.
Hadi may be viewed as a hero among the PAS ulama, but many view him as a despicable and desperate traitor.
Hank Marvin: Khalid Samad is playing safe here. He obviously supported the duo but at the same time wanted to save the boss.
This cannot happen, YB; if you like the duo, you have to condemn the president. No two ways about it. Sorry, you can't have both.
What4: Khalid Samad is not defending his president but merely sharing with the people what his president thought. He did not say he supported Hadi's move. Indirectly, he was saying this is how ‘good’ the president is.
MinahBulat: Khalid Samad, you use the word ‘steal’ when describing the two PAS assemblypersons. The two did not defect to PKR; they are PAS members and stood by the Pakatan agreement.
What you have forgotten is Mohd Zuhdi Marzuki's WhatApps message that was leaked out that started this debacle.
Going by your reason ‘PAS is not for all’, it is clear that PAS in a Malaycentric and racist party. Hadi may have talk to Azmin, but I think Azmin is too smart to be taken by Hadi's plan, which is clearly political suicide.
Voice: It looks like all this while is just a ‘good guy bad guy show’ from PAS. It is not that the good guy did not know what the bad guy is doing but they are the ones who allowed the bad guy to call the shots.
So PAS, please stop condemning Umno for betraying PAS in the past as you all have surpassed them in this latest act of betrayal. Now PAS is the benchmark in this area.
And please don't try to pin blame on PKR for ‘stealing’ your people. Remember, the two PAS members who gave their support to Pakatan did not jump to PKR.
Anonymous_3e86: Hadi fears being betrayed. But before anyone could betray him, Hadi jumped the gun and betrayed Pakatan. Explain that!
