PAS MUKTAMAR | A Penang PAS Youth delegate has claimed that DAP and Gerakan, when they led the state, greedily plundered Malay villages and evicted the Malay and Indian Muslim communities.
Speaking at the PAS Youth muktamar, Saiful Rizwan Mahmud also claimed that pig pens were built freely in Malay-majority areas, resulting in disappointment and shame among the local population.
He claimed that this issue was ignored by previous governments.
“We ask that you remember PAS started in Penang and it could also end in Penang if we are complacent and do not defend it,” he said in a speech titled “Continue the Momentum of Victory” at the Kedah PAS Complex, Alor Setar, Kedah today.
Saiful also expressed his frustration over the decision of the Perikatan Nasional leadership to hand over the Bayan Lepas state seat to Gerakan president Dominic Lau to contest in the last state election.

The seat, which comprises 64 percent Malays, has been traditionally contested by PAS since 2008.
‘Malays will disappear from Penang’
Saiful claimed that if more seats were to be given up, it would lead to the disappearance of Malay villages and nasi kandar, a popular Penang dish brought by Muslim traders from India.
“I bring the hope and sacred voice of the Indian Muslims and Malays in Penang.
“Penang (PAS Youth) requests that the events that occurred with the Bayan Lepas state seat do not happen again in seat distributions.
“This is because if one seat in Penang is lost, then a Malay village will disappear from the map of Penang.
“If you want to come to Penang to eat nasi kandar, you won’t even have it anymore,” he said.

In 2023, the handing over of the Bayan Lepas seat to Gerakan sparked anger among PAS grassroots in Penang.
Lau lost to Amanah candidate Azrul Mahathir Azizin in a three-cornered contest.
This was the only seat won by Amanah in the state.

PAS - from religion-centred to race-centred, a neo-Nazi Party
PAS is a holy party.
ReplyDeleteSuch a humiliation for Gerakan to be reduced to grovelling beggars.
