KUALA LUMPUR – PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang has been summoned by the police to provide a statement following several police reports lodged against him recently.

According to his press secretary Abdul Malik Ab Razak, the Marang MP will head to the Sentul district police headquarters around 3pm, today.

The latest update comes after Hadi had told Pakatan Harapan (PH) to go ahead and lodge a police report against him as he was ready to be called up to Bukit Aman.

PKR information chief Fahmi Fadzil had earlier urged PAS to stop spreading “hate and misinformation” and challenged the party to initiate police probes if it believes that DAP – a PH component – was guilty of the accusations flung by Hadi. 

He also reminded PAS, a Perikatan Nasional (PN) component, that provoking racial friction would be contrary to the advice of the Agong who had called for unity in the interests of the nation. 

Fahmi’s criticism follows Hadi’s tirade against the “creedless and immoral” DAP, which he claimed was openly slandering Islam and appointing “stupid and liberal Malays rejected by Islam” to be its mouthpiece.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is also PH chairman, had instructed police to investigate those who went overboard in issuing slanderous statements, such as those claiming that Anwar is an “Israeli agent”. 

Royal Malaysia Police secretary Datuk Noorsiah Mohd Saaduddin has since said that Bukit Aman had initiated an investigation into Hadi over his allegations. – The Vibes, December 5, 2022
