DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng says in a Oct 7 statement, PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang has said it is ‘haram’ for Muslims to surrender power to a non-Muslim.
In a statement today, Lim gave four instances where PAS’ top leaders have made remarks detrimental to non-Muslim rights in the country. He said Hadi, on Jan 8, had called on Muslims to choose Muslim leaders without taking into account their past transgressions. Hadi had also claimed that a non-Muslim leader “would end in hell”.
“These statements are enough for us to doubt PAS’ sincerity in upholding a democratic system where people of all races and faiths have their rights protected under the Federal Constitution.
