Hadi: PAS cannot step into ‘DAP's kitchen’
PAS will not be deceived into moving away from its Islamic policies and direction, said party president Abdul Hadi Awang.
As such, PAS will never be able to cooperate with DAP, unlike Umno.
"PAS cannot enter DAP's ‘kitchen’ because of the presence of ‘non-halal food’.
"(We cannot do so) even if they change their ‘chef’, even if the ‘chef’ is Muslim," Harakah Daily reported him as saying today.
Hadi was responding to a recent statement by DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang, who wished for Umno to become stronger than Bersatu and PAS.
Lim also said Umno could achieve this by returning to the principles of the Federal Constitution, instead of seeking a pardon for their former leader, Najib Abdul Razak.

To Hadi, what was implied by Lim was that DAP was pushing a secularist agenda, which the Marang MP argued was not clearly defined in the Federal Constitution, unlike Islam which was clearly stated as the religion of the federation.
‘Royal shield’
As such, Hadi accused DAP of being a deceitful party that was now pursuing its secularist ambitions through Umno.
He also accused DAP and their new partners of emulating the colonialists of the past in using the monarchy as a "human shield" while downplaying the concept of constitutional monarchy and the monarch's duties towards Islam.
"(DAP is) working with Umno to secure Malay and Muslim votes to make up for PKR and Amanah's failures.
"Their partner, Umno, is now being tested - (are they) fighting for cari makan (for survival) and positions or because (Umno) is fighting for religion, race and homeland?" asked Hadi.
Meanwhile, Hadi said PAS will not forget DAP's "Setapak Declaration" which stated the party's opposition towards the separation of Malaysians into "bumiputera" and "non-bumiputera".

He also accused DAP of participating in a "leftist gathering" in Kajang, Selangor - aimed at commemorating communists who fought against the Japanese.
This event was, in fact, an event in 2019 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Hatyai Peace Accord signed between Malaysia and the defunct Communist Party of Malaya.
"(DAP) is wilfully ignorant of the fact that the fight for independence started with the rulers and ulamas’ fight against the Portuguese in 1511 - long before the arrival of the pendatang (immigrants) who support DAP," said Hadi.
Hadi also accused DAP of "glorifying the ashes" of former CPM leader Chin Peng, that was brought back to Malaysia in 2019.
In the past, Hadi had repeatedly accused DAP of communist links although the party was not involved in either event.
In November 2020, when Hadi's ally Hamzah Zainudin was home minister, the government announced that no one will be charged for bringing Chin Peng's ashes to Malaysia.
Chin Peng was among the former CPM leaders who were denied the right to return to Malaysia even after signing the Hatyai Peace Accord.
