A BACHOK Pas member has apologised over his use of the term “kafir harbi” against DAP during a ceramah session in Nenggiri earlier this week.
"I would like to apologise for the mistake and the continuation of my words at a ceramah for the Nenggiri by-election held in Kampung Sungai Asap on Aug 8.
"My statements were inappropriate and have offended the feelings of several parties," he said on his Facebook page today.
He said the statement was made amid high spirits during election campaigning.
"With all sincerity, I withdraw my statement," he added.
Following the incident, a video of Thursday's ceramah has made the rounds on social media platforms.
DAP leaders yesterday also demanded an apology over the 'kafir harbi' word used during a Perikatan Nasional (PN) ceramah.
DAP central executive committee (CEC) members, Syeikh Umar Bagharin Ali, Syahredzan Johan and Young Syefura Othman also called on PN and Pas leadership to clarify their stance on the matter.
Last night, Perikatan Nasional operations director for Nenggiri by-election Tan Sri Annuar Musa said they would not apologise to DAP over the issue.
He said this is because the remark was issued by an individual and did not represent the views of the Pas party. - The Vibes, August 10, 2024
