PAS still with Pakatan, insists Hadi

 Hcleong: PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang, do yourself understand what a pact is?

Not attending meetings, overruling those of your comrades who have agreed to decisions made at joint meetings, not following the consensus of Pakatan Rakyat. What pact do you mean?

Justine Gow: PAS has caused the death of Pakatan but is now refusing to bury it. Well, if PAS wishes, it can live keep the corpse of Pakatan for as long as it likes.

But, when the next election comes, voters who had supported Pakatan will not cast their votes for PAS.

Justme: Hadi is getting crazier by the day. He knows the people prefer a Pakatan coalition to topple BN, with or without PAS.

It looks like he is now feeling the heat as DAP and PKR plus PasMa are willing to work together. Whatever it is, PAS’ true colours are now revealed. PAS can no longer be trusted as a genuine partner.

Wg321: Can someone whisper into Hadi’s ear the following questions?

Is the implementation of hudud laws part of Pakatan’s common policy framework? Why did you ‘ponteng’ the Pakatan leadership meetings?

Why did you break your promise to discuss the hudud bill with Pakatan leaders before sending it to Parliament? Who is your enemy, DAP or Umno? If it is Umno, why did you threaten DAP with May 13?

Hadi has destroyed the trust that was painstaking built over the years. I think DAP, PKR, PasMa, PSM and others should form a Pakatan Baru where all parties subscribe to a ‘common policy framework’, similar to that of the defunct Pakatan.

Samah: PAS and DAP always take positions opposite of one another. DAP pronounces Pakatan dead. PAS claims it’s still alive.

PAS insists on hudud. DAP opposes. DAP demands that PM Najib Razak resign. PAS wants him to stay on. DAP tells PAS members to quit all positions in the Penang state government. PAS tells them not to do so.

It’s a blessing in disguise that Pakatan didn’t win GE13. Under the DAP-PAS coalition federal government, the rakyat would be more confused than under BN.

At least we’re crystal clear – BN is irredeemably corrupt. Messrs Lim, please get it right this time.

Twice divorced, PAS hopes for longer third marriage

Wira: PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man, in the first marriage, the Chinese supported BN.

It took many years of goodwill and hard work spearheaded by the progressives and the late Tok Guru Nik Aziz Nik Mat to convince the non-Malays to take a gamble and back PAS.

We were sold by your ‘PAS for all’ message. But your ulama destroyed that within a year, soon after Tok Guru’s demise. Today, you fish for votes from the rural Malays who are still very much with Umno as the recent by-election in Rompin showed.

If you ever share the same bed with Umno as your president had advised, that would be the end of PAS as a national party, and it will always remain subservient to the corrupt Umno.

Oh Ya?: PAS will not be third time lucky. The voters are not blind. Nor are they stupid. They may want to topple Umno for a better Malaysia, but they would not entrust their future in the hands of the ulama, especially on the hudud issue.

DAP knows full well they will be punished severely come GE14 if they don’t divorce the ulama. Even then there is no certainty that the 52% voters will forget and forgive them for this costly misadventure.

Anonymous 731691434514996: I just realised that DAP fooled me into believing they could handle PAS the first time around in 2001. Shame on DAP. But they fooled me again in 2008, damn, shame on me.

DAP convinced me that PAS cared for all races, were inclusive and would champion ‘ketuanan rakyat’.

I did not expect PAS to be secretly, in truth, Malay supremacists planning to ‘jentik’ all non-Muslims once they got into Putrajaya. My one vote for DAP would have helped put PAS in Putrajaya to ‘jentik’ me if Pakatan took over the government.

So, will there ever be a third time that I get fooled by DAP? Not on my life. The next time DAP ‘marries’ PAS again, I dump my vote. And for the first time ever, I will spit on DAP.

Ex-Wfw: In the last election, candidates in my constituency were BN and PAS for both the parliamentary and state seats.

Because of Pakatan, all my family members voted for PAS. So many non-Muslims were actually chanting “Ini Kali Lah” as they walked to the polling station every time they pass groups holding PAS banners.

Like the saying goes, every good thing must come to an end. So end it right now if DAP still values the urban non-Muslim support.
