Nik Aziz sure knows how to trump his fellow party leaders. His statement on suggestion that hudud and gisas laws to be used by a merged UMNO – PAS. As reported in Malaysiakini, MCA was the first one off the blocks to oppose this suggestion. This was stated by its Youth secretary-general, Wee Ka Siong. The deputy education minister has described Nik Aziz’s idea as “totally unacceptable by MCA”.
I am disappointed and gravely concerned with Nik Aziz’s statement to implement hudud and qisas laws as it would mean the creation of a theocratic Islamic state.
I urge Umno to object against PAS’ proposal as it is a matter of principle.
So far, Gerakan and PRS (Parti Rakyat Sarawak), two small parties in the coalition had come out with statements that cautions the UMNO-PAS discussions.
Have to wait another few days for MIC, but its politicians who blog already have something to say. Check out Murugesan‘s blog. Not sure about Saravanan.
