PAS lists 10 reasons why DAP is anti-Malay, anti-Muslim
PAS information chief Khairil Nizam Khirudin says voters must reject DAP at the next general election.
PETALING JAYA: The Islamic party PAS has cited DAP’s constitution as among 10 reasons to show that the party is anti-Muslim and anti-Malay.
PAS information chief Khairil Nizam Khirudin said Article 2 of DAP’s constitution said it sought to “reaffirm and restore the Malaysian Constitution to its original ‘secular’ framework”.
“This is proof that DAP is anti-Muslim and anti-Malay,” he said in a statement today in response to criticism of PAS as having adopted a racist and extremist approach.
Khairil said that DAP was blatantly against the move to provide shariah courts with power to impose more severe criminal penalties, even though such punishments could only be meted out against Muslims for shariah-related offences.
He said DAP had also pushed for the ratification of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination which was opposed by PAS as a “Freemason agenda to destroy religion, race and country”.
Khairil also highlighted criticisms by several DAP personalities.
He said DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang had alleged that Friday sermons, which are prepared by the Islamic development department (Jakim), were used to spread hate, while a DAP Wanita chief had criticised another sermon on the need for women to dress modestly, and P Ramasamy had once labelled televangelist Zakir Naik as “satan”.
Other reasons cited by Khairil were:
Khairil said these examples were among the many that showed the racism within DAP.
Yesterday, DAP chairman Lim Guan Eng had said PAS should not adopt racist and extremist approaches by treating non-Muslims as its opponents.

Other reasons cited by Khairil were:
- Questioning the need for loudspeakers to be used for the azan (call to prayer) and recital of Quranic verses;
- Angering the sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, by refusing to nominate more than two candidates for the position of menteri besar in 2014;
- Its record in offending the Malay rulers;
- Snarky remarks by DAP leaders on ‘purdah’ worn by Muslim women.
- Calling for Muslims to be given the freedom to leave Islam.
- The Setapak declaration which called for the opposition to segregating citizens into “bumiputeras” and “non-bumiputeras”.
Khairil said these examples were among the many that showed the racism within DAP.

I want to see how DAP counter this latest arrow from PAS.
ReplyDeleteWas it not true that allocation for the various establishments in Penang saw increases?
DAP should try to get the Penang mufti to say something about it, if this is true?
Despite all these spurious ketuananized fart, there r multiple times more displays of that zombieic pact acting to destabilize the m'sia agreements!
