Hadi’s non-Muslims ‘roots of corruption’ remarks based on study: PAS leader
Dr Mohd Zuhdi Marzuki cited a survey by an unnamed local university which found that between 2010 and 2014, 88% of 449 people who were convicted of giving bribes were non-Malays.
(The Vibes) – A PAS central committee member has defended party president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang, who is being investigated by police for stating that non-Muslims are the major cause of corruption.
Dr Mohd Zuhdi Marzuki cited a survey by an unnamed local university which found that between 2010 and 2014, 88% of 449 people who were convicted of giving bribes were non-Malays.
Writing on his Facebook page as well as in PAS’ organ Harakah Daily, Zuhdi said that of the total percentage, 57.46% were Chinese, 30.51% were Indians and 12.03% were Malays.
“This study was also published in an international journal of repute at a well-known university in the US.
“The truth is, what was said by the PAS president is in line with this study. Therefore, Pakatan Harapan (PH) should not be inflaming racial sentiments for their political agenda,” Zuhdi said.
