What is the extent of provocation before police can move against Hadi?
But by not moving against Hadi, the police might inadvertently give the impression that some individuals who are in high places might be above the law.

WHAT else is new from PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Awang Hadi?
First he accused the non-Malays of being the roots of corruption and now he is saying that PAS will never cooperate with Pakatan Harapan (PH) because the component parties are composed of non-believers, racists and the sources of corruption.
He said that as far as PAS is concerned, there is no such thing as a big tent approach with PH parties even if some of them are Malay-based.
Taking a dig at DAP he criticised that the concept of Malaysian Malaysia as something alien to Islam and the Malays in the country.
He lamented that the purveyors of this idea should leave the country because Malays who profess to Islam are against this alien and anti-Islamic concept.
Even after a number of police reports were made against Hadi for his extreme racism for labelling the non-Malays the roots of corruption, there is no let up on the part of the Marang MP.
Thinking that he is immune from prosecution, he is spewing more venom against the non-Malays.
No action
Essentially, he is saying that there is no way that PAS will ever cooperate with PH in the future as the coalition is composed of non-believers and those who give and accept corruption.
I expect more police reports made against Hadi in the matter of days.
By repeating his extreme remarks, he is telling the police whether they dare to arrest and charge him.
It is not the police have no evidence as his attacks on the non-Malays clearly fall within the realm of sedition. It is not that the country has no laws.
But by not moving against Hadi, the police might inadvertently give the impression that some individuals who are in high places might be above the law.
Hadi’s one-sided obsession with corruption among non-Malays seems to have missed the point that PAS is not above corruption.
Some leaders might not be the givers but certainly the takers.
