PETALING JAYA: A delegate from the Kelantan PAS asked members to stop asking when the Islamist party would implement hudud now that the party was part of the ruling Perikatan Nasional government.
Don’t ask when hudud will be implemented, said Kelantan delegate Datuk Hassan Mahmood.
“Ask what to do now,” he said while debating the president’s political speech during the 66th Muktamar on Sunday (September 13).
Comparing the government to the guardian of the fence, Hassan said that the fence must be strengthened first.
He said it was important to stabilize the fence first to strengthen the fort.
“We need to strengthen the government first,” Hassan said.
He also said that some had expressed disappointment at PAS ‘decision not to contest any seats in Sabah.
“In Islam, we are allowed to air our differences, but we must not allow that to divide us,” he said.
Meanwhile, Sabah delegate Dr. Aliakbar Gulasan said the party had decided not to participate in state elections after taking local sentiments into account.
“But there are some parties in the peninsula that did not dare to use their own logos.
“They use logos of local parties to deceive us. They are what we call chameleons. Sabahans must be cautious of those who want to spread their extremist views,” he said.
Sarawak delegate Morshidi Harun, who participated in the debate via the Internet, claimed that the “parasites” were trying to influence the rank and file against the party leadership.
“It is important for us to stay united,” he said.
Sidang Asabiqun’s (veteran bureau) secretary, Mohd Nor Mohamad, described critics within the party as a “virus.”
“We must not let viruses infest too long.
“Our previous rivals in the interior have left to join the PAN (Parti Amanah Negara),” he said.
Melaka delegate Asri Shaik Abdul Aziz called on internal critics to stop questioning decisions made by leaders at the state and national level.
“Only the weak will insist on fouls,” he said.
Meanwhile, Selangor PAS deputy chief Shafie Ngah called on rank-and-file members to forge good ties with non-Muslims.
“Not many have seriously forged ties with non-Muslims and non-Malays,” he said.
Although PAS had banned delegates from Perlis and Kedah from attending the Muktamar in Kelantan in light of the Covid-19 threat, they were provided with an online platform to participate in the discussion session.
Kedah delegate Nurul Amin Hamid said the state was like a mini Malaysia due to its multiracial makeup.
“It’s a good platform for PAS to show that it can be fair for all races,” he said.
PAS Youth Chief Information Officer Khairul Nadzir Helmi Azhar said they are using social media to reach a broader segment of society.
“We uploaded to TikTok a video clip of our party president (Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang) opening the Muktamar Youth Wing.
“In 24 hours, it attracted 35,000 visits,” he said, adding that they have attracted positive comments from social media users.
