 I’ve always had my doubt on PAS. I think anything based on religion will cause problem. So, this kind of statement only serves to alienate people from PAS. DAP will also suffer since people will start to question DAP.

To avoid Pakatan Rakyat from becoming another BN, PAs should not lead. It consists of Muslim-Malays, just like UMNO in BN. And we have seen how BN works. Its better for a multiracial party to lead Pakatan Rakyat.

I think DAP and PKR should merge, and let PAS to contest by itself in next election. » Read more: PAS wants to lead Pakatan Rakyat and aim for islamic state

Its true that at times we do things that backfire..sort of spit onto your own face. As Islamophobia gains prominence due to actions of some “terrorists” in far-off countries, our fellow countrymen also want to join the fun. They want to be in the papers, so why not do some attention-grabbing noise…err..like charge non muslims for khalwat! » Read more: Why leaders not condemning khalwat proposal

What caught my eye was the word ‘liberal”. The article implies things were not so rosy before this in Pahang. On one side we have applications being rejected, and on the other hand we read the “committee on places of worship” will meet more regularly (not to reject more application i guess). So if anything goes wrong now, we can blame the State Secretary. » Read more: Pahang to review non Muslim worship place
