Kit Siang: Forget Hadi, let’s win over PAS grassroots
(FMT) – DAP supremo believes ordinary PAS and Umno members don’t want to see the country go down the drain.
The opposition can win in the next general election without PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang if they can win over the grassroots PAS supporters, says DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang.
“I think the ordinary PAS members, if they understand the (national) issues will not want to see Malaysia go down the drain.
“We must reach the ordinary PAS members, nevermind Hadi,” Lim said at a teh tarik session with youths here last night.
Lim also alleged that Hadi was disinterested in combating corruption, which he could not understand as no religion could tolerate such things.
Once allies, PAS and DAP are now bitter foes after disagreements on Hadi’s plan to introduce stricter Islamic laws to the country.
Winning over the PAS electorate, Lim said, is one of five goals that the opposition must achieve if they want to win in the next general election.
