Hadi: Chinese, Indian youths being swayed by DAP's 'false narratives'


PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang has raised the May 13 spectre yet again, in warning against the “false narratives’ spread by DAP to sway Chinese and Indian youths.

"DAP, which was established after the country achieved independence, tried replacing MCA and MIC, which were founded before independence.

"DAP later aimed to disrupt the harmonious plural society that was formed without the imposition of Islam, despite acknowledging Islam as the nation's religion," the Marang MP said in a statement today.

Hadi (above) also claimed that DAP's "Malaysian Malaysia" agenda and the secularism the party advocated, which separates religion from political, economic, and other affairs, were efforts to unravel what has been well-established.

"Maybe youths from the Chinese and Indian communities are unaware of these 'false narratives' as they were born after the country's independence.

"The goal is to make the Malays seem racists when the fact is the Malays are the least racist, as they accepted the 'jus soli' (birthright citizenship) agenda forced on by the colonisers as a condition for independence, which saw immigrants from China and India being accepted as citizens," said Hadi.

"The influence of Islam among the Malays makes them accept the existence of non-Malays among them. In fact, the Chinese and Indians are even free to run their own businesses, carry out agricultural activities, practise religious freedom, and even have their own vernacular education," he added.


Elaborating, Hadi claimed that the 'Malaysian Malaysia' struggle is the remnants of an agenda by the late Singaporean leader Lee Kuan Yew in the early 1960s, through the Malaysian Solidarity Convention, to oppose Article 153 of the Federal Constitution, which guarantees special rights for the Malays.


"They (proponents of the concept) argued that the non-Malays who were accorded Malaysian citizenship also deserved to be given equal rights as the Malays and the bumiputera.

"In other words, all races, languages, religions, and cultures are the same," wrote Hadi.

DAP continued to champion the concept after Singapore left Malaysia in 1965, he claimed.



He stressed that the Malays and the bumiputera will never ever accept the 'Malaysian Malaysia' concept championed by DAP.

Hadi said that non-Muslims should instead be grateful for being accorded the privilege to stay in this country, as many other countries do not accept people who do not share the same ideology as the natives.

"The level of tolerance shown towards them (the non-Malays) should be respected. The 'Malaysian Malaysia' and secularism concepts can trigger racial and religious tension, as witnessed in Singapore when they were first introduced.

"Malaysia went through May 13, 1969, racial riots, which left a black mark in the country's multiracial history. Don't let such incidents repeat due to the wrong agenda."

Hadi had in the past repeatedly raised the May 13 spectre in his attacks against DAP.

Previously, Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said that DAP has provided guarantees to accept and comply with the four articles enshrined in the Federal Constitution, including Islam and the special rights of Malays.

According to the Umno president, the guarantee was given by DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke during a meeting between BN and Pakatan Harapan before the formation of the new government after the 15th general election.
