YOURSAY ‘I doubt Hadi Awang is even fit to be in politics.’
'Hudud special sitting a diversion from 1MDB'
Pakatan-Ku: PAS said hudud is for Muslims only? But PAS proposed a ban on beer sales in Shah Alam and protested against Octoberfest, etc, services and activities which are for non-Muslims.
Indeed, after successfully implementing hudud laws, one day non-Muslims may have to pay a dhimmi tax.
Indonesia is 90 percent Muslim and yet secular laws exist there and Ahok (Basuki Tjahaja Purnama), a Chinese and to top it all a Christian, can become the governor of Jakarta which has a population of 12 million Muslims. During his swearing-in, he took his oath of office with the Bible.
It’s time for PAS to learn to rule a multi-religious, multi-racial, multi-cultural Malaysia. Otherwise, PAS can forget about ruling Malaysia and it can continue to rule Kelantan and the green belt states.
In the past, PAS has never done well in Selangor (only two or three seats). In GE13, PAS has 15 seats thanks to the cooperation of PKR and DAP.
It looks like ‘PAS for All’ is just like DAP's ‘CAT - Competent, Accountable, Transparency’ - a mere election slogan.
Anonymous_1418035561: PAS can forget about the federal government and stay put in Kelantan. We must make sure these religious bigots don't ever make an advance in other parts of Malaysia. Now I see why PAS lost in Terengganu and Kedah.
KnockKnock: If hudud is going to be implemented in Kelantan alone, let it be. I, for one, would like to observe the outcome.
If it is good, credit goes to PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang. If it is not, Kelantan Menteri Besar Ahmad Yakob will have to face the music.
Ray-G: This is what happens when people who only fit to talk about religion are given the opportunity in politics. Ask them how to improve the economy in Kelantan, they will be dumb founded.
And those who are supporting hudud are not moving to Kelantan and earn a living there. Yet, instead of improving the livelihood of the people there, these leaders are implementing laws in the name of religion just to cover their weakness in managing state.
I doubt Hadi Awang is even fit to be in politics. I hope they lose Kelantan the next round due to their stupidity.
Kim Quek: Is the extremist faction of PAS in cahoots with Umno to throw a decoy to save Umno from the unbearable heat of 1MDB (1Malaysia Development Berhad)?
Unless Abdul Hadi gives a good answer to why PAS must call an emergency state legislative session in Kelantan at this time to push for the implementation of hudud in Parliament, we have to assume the answer is yes.
Shouldn’t the moderates in PAS do something about this? As for Pakatan Rakyat, it should strategise to neutralise the decoy.
Paul Warren: No, PKR central committee member Latheefa Koya, this is just the prelude to the redelineation exercise. Umno needs PAS’ support to gain the two-thirds needed to implement Election Commission's proposals.
PAS cares more for hudud than their own lives. And of course, they also want to remain relevant in the way they have recently become accustomed to, with the support of the Chinese and Indians. Except, they know they cannot rely on it forever.
Their previous participation within Pakatan Rakyat was just so as to be able to place themselves in a stronger position in negotiating with Umno. They have got there now. Just watch when they betray Pakatan when the time comes for the redelineation vote.
Where is Justice: Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me... Do you get it, Pakatan?
Ratbatblue: I wonder what would happen if hudud finally gets to be implemented in Kelantan, and in the next general election, they fail to retain the state.
Will hudud be then repealed? And theoretically, what if they win the next time?
In their haste to proclaim righteousness and religious piousness, they want to bulldoze this issue and implement it as soon as possible.
Socially and politically, Malaysia is not homogeneous, so such measures will not be easy to implement by an isolated state in a secular country as opposed to in a (uniformly Islamic) country like say Saudi Arabia.
However, with such a mood prevailing in this country right now, the question is: Will Malaysia eventually de-secularise itself and follow the path of Saudi Arabia?
Middle Path: Why not improve the living standards of the kampung people for one? Why not reduce the corruption?
Why not improve the economy of the state instead of trying to be holier than thou? Why not improve the education system for all instead of talking religion?
Axolotl: It's high time humans outgrow institutionalised, doctrinal belief systems and learn to function as self-correcting, self-upgrading, self-governing sentient entities.
