LEAVE Pakatan since PAS insists on 'hudud' - MCA tells DAP

Since Kelantan Menteri Besar Dato’ Nik Abdul Aziz has announced that the issue of hudud is not negotiable and has continued insisting on implementing this hardline criminal code, I thus challenge DAP Secretary General Lim Guan Eng to stop fooling around and announce the Rocket’s withdrawal from the Pakatan coalition to prove themselves to the public that they are indeed sincere in preventing hudud law. I am confused by Guan Eng’s silence over this hudud issue, and as of 30 July 2012, he still has yet to criticize PAS, proving that he is attempting to evade the issue or to sweep it under the carpet. Once, in 2001, DAP had withdrawn from the Barisan Alternatif because PAS had refused to give up their dream of forming an Islamic state, but sadly this is not the case this time and Guan Eng’s evasive reaction and refusal to do the same is indeed disappointing. Now, PAS has made it very clear that they shall implement hudud law, and Nik Aziz himself has also said that this issue was not negotiable. Thus, Guan Eng should practise what he preaches and immediately pull DAP out of Pakatan and not continue to be subservient to PAS. Guan Eng shies from facing tough question from public This is because Guan Eng’s continued statement that he does not support hudud is unconvincing, and it reflects badly on him as it shows that he does not dare to face up and he is only attempting to mislead the Chinese community and the non-Muslims. On the other hand, MCA from the very beginning has made it obviously clear that should UMNO implement hudud law, MCA will leave Barisan Nasional. We will not compromise on this issue, and we have made it clear that we will defend the interests of the Chinese community and the non-Muslims. Unlike MCA, Guan Eng and DAP are not willing to sacrifice their positions for the sake of the non-Muslim by leaving PAS. Also, the non-Muslim leaders in PKR should not continue to keep quiet, and should instead explain their stand on hudud to PAS as well, as their silence will only mean that they consent to whatever PAS is doing.
