DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang says he is “shocked and dismayed” with PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang’s move to table a Private Member’s Bill on hudud in Parliament today.

“This is the first time i’m seeing it, the first time anyone in DAP is seeing it. This is a breach of promise. Hadi has broken his word and i'm very shocked that this can happen because it shows his word is not his bond.

“Hadi had promised during the Feb 8 Pakatan leadership council meeting that  the motion on hudud will first be presented to the council.

“The promise has been broken by what we see today and this is why Pakatan is facing a crisis,” Lim told reporters at the Parliament lobby today.

Hadi’s Private Member’s Bill on hudud appeared in the Dewan Rakyat order paper today. However, it is not confirmed whether the bill would be tabled at today’s session.

Lim ( left ), the MP for Gelang Patah MP also questioned the missing statement on hudud that was  supposedly to be released by Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

“Where is the prime minister’s statement, as promised on March 20, that BN and Umno will oppose the Private Member’s Bill?” he queried, referring to the statement by MCA president Liow Tiong Lai that Najib would be releasing on a statement the hudud matter soon.

Lim  also concluded that “BN was facing a crisis by what is currently happening”, as Najib has been mum on the matter, with several of his ministers stating otherwise on the hudud issue.

While reiterating that DAP was sticking to its original stand on hudud, Lim was suspicious if the bill would be tabled during this sitting, especially as it lies last on the order list.

“Normally, in the Parliament proceedings, they will deal with the official business first. Parliament will have its hands full till Thursday,” he said, implying that it was the usual precedence for government bills to be tabled first.

Ministers such as Tourism and Culture Minister Nazri Abdul Aziz and Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin contradicted Liow’s statement that the hudud matter was discussed by the cabinet.
