Although Pakatan Harapan was officially launched last week, they were hesitant on taking a unanimous stand on hudud and PAS.
(Free Malaysia Today) – Several lawyers have called for the newly-formed opposition pact, Pakatan Harapan , to take a stand on hudud law and PAS.
Lawyer Haniff Khatri Abdulla said that they should take a stand so that they are united, and not end up like the now-defunct Pakatan Rakyat. “The previous pact split because they had no consistent stand, with PAS being pro-hudud and DAP taking an anti-hudud stand.”
“This happened once. They should not let it happen again,” he said.
Haniff added the public have the right to know. “People vote for the party and person. They must know what’s the party’s policy.”
“If Amanah, the party formed by PAS dissidents, later takes a stand that they are pro-hudud, would there be another feud again?” he asked.
