PAS hints at expected dowry for ‘marriage’ with Umno
PAS president Datuk Seri Hadi Awang recalled yesterday the conditions for his party’s 70s partnership with Barisan Nasional (BN) that included the rejection of Western culture..
(MMO) – According to PAS mouthpiece Harakah, Hadi further said the previous partnership had not bound his party to the Alliance.
It had also given PAS free rein to teach Islam in government offices and public universities as well as to espouse the religion on radio and television, culminating in the azan (the Muslim call to prayer) being broadcast on both mediums.
“The cooperation also allowed activities deemed in conflict to Islam, such as dancing and alcohol consumption, to be ended,” he said when opening the PAS Rantau Panjang assembly yesterday.
