PETALING JAYA: The statement by Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat that PAS would implement hudud laws did not consider the political reality in the country, Karpal Singh said.The DAP chairman said Nik Aziz, the PAS spiritual leader, also did not take into account the reasons given by DAP for objecting to the implementation of the laws in a multiracial and multilingual country like Malaysia.
“Nik Aziz has asked for reasons why we are objecting to the move. To start off, the Federal Constitution does not provide for an Islamic state from which introduction of Islamic criminal laws like hudud could follow.
“Next, PAS cannot afford to ignore the five-man unanimous decision of the Supreme Court, the highest court in the land, in 1988 that the country was not an Islamic state but a secular state,” he said in a statement Tuesday.
He noted that it was Tun Salleh Abbas, who was at one time a PAS state exco member in Terengganu, who headed the five-man panel of the Supreme Court that had made that judicial pronouncement.
“The Federal Constitution is a sacred document which must be accepted and respected by everyone, including PAS.
“Its leaders, including Nik Aziz, should not defy and continuously be in contempt of it when insisting on the implementation of hudud laws in the country.
“It is wrong for PAS, for political expediency, to crave what is clearly against national interests,” he added.
Karpal said PAS should also be careful not to scuttle the smooth running of the Pakatan Rakyat alliance and reminded the party that threatening to go ahead with its plan would be counter-productive to its interests.He also urged PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to speak up on the issue.
tunku : if pas has the majority what can dap do about it? nothing. but at the moment pas is just saying it for making them look more islamic as the Kuala Terengganu by election is coming soon.they are the minority in pakatan,there's nothing they can do.karpal urged anwar the moron to speak out, don't worry,he will but with two statements. in front of non Muslims he will say no to hudud and in front of Muslims crowd he will say that they will consider whatsoever.he will change his colours according to the surround like a chameleon.

PAS is just playing around for the sake of the by-election.a weird coincidence when they bring up this issue whereas the by-election is just around the corner.
but what can DAP do if PAS will have the majority seats more than DAP and PKR?of course PAS gonna continue with the hudud laws.then again everyone knows that PAS is only minority for now in PR.
Islam zaman Rasullullah s.a.w diterima dan Hudud diterima apabila pemahaman masyarakat adalah sebati dengan Islam dan halatujunya yang murni.
Jika rakan rapat didalam pakatan menentang maka jelas pemahaman tentang hudud PAS adalah tidak jelas. Oleh itu jangan salahkan BN menolak hudud PAS jika rakan seperjuangan anda sendiri menolak cara yang anda hendak laksanakan.

Salam Tunku,
A rather obvious disagreement, but they still want to sleep on the same bed.
Perhaps catering to lust is a different thing, even though they no longer share the same dream.
PAS ni cakap je lebih pasal hukum2 ni..Tapi nampak macam tak ikhlas je dengan apa yang mereka cakap. Pergi bersekongkol dengan orang yang sah2 menolak hukum tu buat apa? Isu ni timbul balik sebab nak pilihanraya kecil ni je, kalau takda nanti senyap, sejuk lah balik.
Sekarang PAS bisinglah balik bangkitkan semula isu hudud ni dengan harapan akan mendapat sokongan penuh daripada golongan Islam. Kan dah nak dekat pilihanraya kecil dah ni.
Anwar pun senyap je dalam hal ni. Tak dengar pun dia nyatakan pendirian dia. Serba salah ke? Tu lah, pakatan ni tak patut wujud, tengok arah perjuangan je dah tau.
