Slap in the face for PN’s non-Malay candidates FMTNews FMTEng
When I read news reports about Gerakan president Dominic Lau being asked to “go away” at a PAS ceramah and PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang telling Muslims that voting against non-Muslims who challenge the “political force of Muslims” is “jihad”, my first thoughts were about the non-Muslims in Perikatan Nasional.
He is also reported to have said that not going out to vote could cause Muslims to lose political power and result in them being humiliated in this world and the hereafter. Lau made it worse by initially denying that the incident had taken place. The viral video showed otherwise. Keng Yaik would probably have given a tongue lashing on the spot to the official concerned or confronted the PAS leadership then and there if something like this had happened to him.
On Aug 5, Penang PAS chief Muhammad Fauzi Yusoff was reported in the media as saying that Lau would have to get his own election machinery to campaign for him as PAS was stretched thin.Under normal circumstances, this would have been accepted as a valid reason but when it comes on the heels of the protest by the local PAS against Lau’s candidacy for the Bayan Lepas seat, it raises questions.
