SHAH ALAM – PAS should be banned for spreading hatred, misinformation and refusing to adhere to campaigning rules set by the Election Commission, said a Selangor assemblyman.

Taman Templer state assemblyman Mohd Sany Hamzan said at the Selangor Legislative Assembly sitting yesterday that PAS had got away scot-free conducting talks containing untrue allegations during the recent election campaign.

“They won (seats in) the election due to (spreading) slander not at night, but during the day,” Sany said.

“It is said that we Pakatan Harapan (PH) are communist and that we want to dissolve the federal constitution, that we are anti-monarchy, we are anti-Islam. 

“Here in Selangor, PH has been in power for 15 years, the sultan still exists, the Malay (rights), masjid, ‘tazkirah’ and ‘usrah’ still ongoing, everything still intact,” the state lawmaker added.

Sany also said he had witnessed deliberate and repeated attempts by the Perikatan Nasional component party during the two-week campaign to smear PH without basis by using race and religion.

“Islam forbids slanderous defamatory practice. When it falls on other people, they said it’s apt. But when it is directed at them, they said it is all forbidden, all ‘halal’.

“I would like to request this certain party to be banned because it is ruining the country. They are riding on the vehicle of religion, they are selling and at the same time, they are traitors of Islam. Yes, I am so angry about this,” he added.

Sany is also Amanah youth chief and had clinched the Hulu Langat parliamentary seat last Saturday.

In the past two days, the Selangor Legislative Assembly representatives have been discussing the 15th general election as well as debating the anti-hopping law passed by Parliament this year.

Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin is expected to deliver the state administration for next year’s budget later at 3 pm today at the assembly. – The Vibes, November 25, 2022
