KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 21 — PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang has claimed that there are non-Muslims who have stated their support for his party’s Shariah law proposal, amid criticism over his private member’s Bill.
He also hit out at detractors who have said that his Bill was “too general”, saying that it is not specific as it sought amendments to the Shariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965 or Act 355 which is part of the Constitution and not a specific law itself.
“I have been informed that there are non-Muslims that support (the Bill). Some have met me and there are non-Muslims who support.
“This is the right of Muslims because under the Constitution. The Shariah courts can only punish Muslims and not non-Muslims,” Malay-language newspaper Sinar Harian quoted Hadi as saying.

What a bullshitting liar! Which non-Muslims would ever ever ever support Pak Haji Hadi's proposed syariah laws?
As declared by the late Mr Carpal Singh, " Over my dead body !"

ReplyDeleteand i am a muslim & i oppose the hudud of pas.
ReplyDeleteI think you have unfairly assumed that Hadi is a liar?
ReplyDeleteSome - usually represents only a few or a small number. Surely, there are a few nons who have seen Hadi and discussed with him, and perhaps understand/support him in respect to his private member’s bill motion for the enhancement of the syariah penal code.
OTOH if it is already known that BN/UMNO will be supporting the motion then the results of Sarawak’s state election, and the by-elections in Kuala Kangsar and Sungai Besar can be used as indicators. Nevertheless, to be fair, let us wait for the coming October parliamentary sitting and see whether there is a naught of nons cabinet member and lawmaker supporting the aforesaid private member’s bill.
