Club knows nothing about Kelantan’s latest move

(The Star) – PAS Supporters Club chairman Hu Pang Chow has claimed that he was “in the dark” over the Kelantan government’s plan to implement hudud in the state.

Hu said he had received hundreds of calls from club members asking about Kelantan’s hudud plan.

“As it is, even before hudud is implemented (in Kelantan), there are no investments here. Just imagine when hudud is actually put into practice here.

“I would say it would be minus zero investment for Kelantan in the coming years until the general election. I received hundreds of calls from club members asking me about Kelantan’s plan,” said Hu yesterday.

“The only answer I can give is that as club chairman, I was not consulted or invited to discuss the matter. I am also in the dark over this sudden move by the state government.”

Hu said the stalemate in Pakatan Rakyat’s stand over the hudud issue also had far reaching consequences for non-Muslims in both the west and east coasts of peninsular Malay-sia.

He said the inconclusive meeting among Pakatan members would affect non-Muslim support not only in religious terms but also the investment climate.

Hu said although Kelantan had stressed that such laws would not affect non-Muslims, such a move, if implemented, would eventually impact them.

“I cannot say much on the investment climate because non-Muslims are a minority in the east coast.

“However, the Chinese would be alarmed by the move.”
