Nasaruddin: It's Haron's personal opinion

The Sun (14/4/08): PAS deputy president Nasaruddin Mat Isa says a remark by deputy spiritual leader Datuk Dr Haron Din that "PAS will implement hudud once the party takes control of the central government" is his personal opinion.

He said currently PAS wants to focus on fulfilling its election manifesto to show that it is concerned with the people's welfare and cares for the people.

Speaking to the press after attending a PAS central committee meeting in Ipoh last night, he said the people has given their mandate to Pakatan Rakyat (in several states), the coalition's priority is to fulfil its manifesto.

Asked if PAS would make Malaysia a practising Islamic state and implement the hudud, Nasaruddin said PAS' policies are formulated along the religious line and it pledges to look after the welfare of the people.

He said non-Muslims need not be afraid of PAS as in the 18 years of PAS rule in Kelantan, the non-Muslims and Chinese had no fear of the party.

MCA slams Pas' Islamic state plan

NST (14/11/08): The MCA has condemned the plan by Pas to turn Malaysia into an Islamic state that practices Hudud law.

MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting was commenting on a report in the Harakah on Thursday, which quoted Pas deputy spiritual leader Datuk Dr Haron Din as saying that Pas will eventually come into power and when it does, it will amend the Federal Constitution and turn the country into a Islamic state which implements Hudud law.

"This is what the MCA has long been warning the people about; that Pas has this ulterior motive of trying to force upon the country the concept of an Islamic state," said Ong yesterday in a "I told you so" manner, after chairing the party's presidential council meeting.

Ong said during the recent election, Pas had put on the "friendly mask" of wanting to create a welfare state to attract voters.

But now, the "ugly tail" of wanting to form an Islamic state has again shown itself.
"This is something multiracial Malaysia cannot accept. MCA is strongly against it and we think a lot of the non-Muslim parties will agree with us," he said.

Asked why he chose to speak up now when both Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak had both declared Malaysia to be an Islamic state last year, Ong said the MCA's stand had always been with the Constitution.

"No matter who says what about the status of Malaysia, we stand by the Constitution. People can try to label Malaysia with different names. But what they cannot do is to change the make-up of the Constitution."

"In the Constitution, it is stated that Malaysia is a secular state. This was discussed and agreed to by the founding fathers. It was agreed that all the different races and their different beliefs will be accommodated," Ong said.

Earlier at Wisma MCA, party Youth chief Datuk Liow Tiong Lai issued a similar statement.

"Both the DAP and PKR must come out openly about their stand on Malaysia as an Islamic state,"

Liow added that DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng should offer an apology to the Malaysian public, especially the Chinese community.

This was because by siding with Pas, the DAP had camouflaged the party's true intention of wanting to create an Islamic state, hence misleading the Chinese into voting for Pas, he added.
