DAP’s Nga sounds another ‘Taliban’ warning
Perak DAP chief Nga Kor Ming said voters should not back Perikatan Nasional because of policies favoured by PAS.
PETALING JAYA: Perak DAP chief Nga Kor Ming has sounded another warning about a Taliban type of government, saying that Malaysia would become like Afghanistan should Perikatan Nasional come to power.
He said PAS, which is a partner in PN, would push what he called extremist policies on gambling, alcohol, concerts and gender segregation.
Such policies were a threat to secular values and to a multiracial country, he said in a statement in Mandarin, quoted by Malaysiakini.
Nga said the policies espoused by PAS would encroach on the rights of non-Muslims and could lead to foreign investors shying away from the country.
Malaysia would be ruined, he said.
Nga was previously reported to have said in March 2019 that Malaysia could turn into a “Taliban state” if an Umno-PAS coalition was established.
The Taliban, a fundamentalist Islamic group, governed Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001 and again from August 2021, enforcing a strict interpretation of shariah.
Nga urged voters not to back Perikatan Nasional candidates, ito ensure that freedom and human rights would be upheld.
He said PN had announced that if the coalition won the general election, PAS would head the state governments in Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang.
“Even worse, PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang would succeed PN chairman Muhyiddin Yassin as the prime minister,” he was quoted as saying.
