KUALA LUMPUR – Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today called on Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang to stop resorting to outdated and rigid narratives in the PAS president’s attacks on the government.
The prime minister said Hadi or the opposition must make assessments based on the government’s policies and not the number of Muslim or non-Muslim majority parties in the administration.
The Pakatan Harapan (PH) chief said as a multiracial country, while upholding Islam, the rights of non-Muslims must also be preserved to ensure peace.
“What is important are the policies. Are there policies that show we (the government) have abandoned Islam?... that we betray the Malays, steal and embezzle Malay land, shares and projects?
“This is how we should assess… don’t use outdated and rigid narratives,” he told reporters after officiating at the launch of the Orientalist Paintings: Mirror or Mirage? exhibition at the Islamic Arts Museum here today.
Anwar was responding to a statement by the PAS president who claimed that PH was not fit to govern the country because it was a political coalition dominated by non-Malay parties. – Bernama, June 2, 2023
