PETALING JAYA: The DAP will support a PAS candidate for the Jan 17 Kuala Terengganu by-election only if the Islamist party does not pursue its agenda for an Islamic state with hudud and qisas laws.DAP chairman Karpal Singh said DAP has never been inconsistent in its stance against the introduction of such laws because this went against the provisions of the Federal Constitution.
On Dec 23, Karpal had also released a statement reminding that a five-man Supreme Court panel, led by former Lord President Tun Salleh Abbas, had made a judicial pronouncement in 1988 that Malaysia was a secular state, not an Islamic one, according to the Constitution.
“Following my statement, (PAS vice-chairman) Datuk Husam Musa retracted his statement unconditionally. I stated that with the retraction, DAP would support the PAS candidate for the by-election.”
tunku : this is all stage drama by the pakatan.anyway looks like pas is really scared of karpal and dap, with karpal's statement, husam bow down and retracted his earlier statement on hudud like a ........(for you to guess).

From the beginning of the coalition, we can sense that its gonna be a 'disaster'. Three very different parties, with different idealogies.
How can they rule Malaysia as One?
It's easy to talk about hudud than the economy. Hudud is there to be intepreted but enonomy is forever changing and we need 'brains' to sustain the economy so as to give a better life for all Malaysians. Politicians should think more about the economy than harping on hudud. An economically prosperous country is what the people want and then let the people decide what form of 'punishments' they desire for their kind in a democracy. A child who behaves needs no punishment, for that matter.
from then till now PAS always echo about Hudud.and they seems to be contradiction among PAS members as well as with other parties concerning the Hudud issue.
PAS should take on the economy side if they want to be seen as a strong party.not to say that spiritual aspect in life is not important but they also have to consider the economic side as well.
how come a country can prosper to be a better country if the govt only willing to take side more on the spiritual rather than the economy?.let there be a balance to that.
the nation can't sustain with a very bad handling on economy and business.
they have said it before and they have repeated the same thing over and over again and made their stance crystal clear;they will not go for hudud and islamic country.
i'm not particularly sure if PAS really sincere on implementing hudud or they just trying to lobby vote from the Malays.
i remember that they before this stated that hudud is the thing of the past and not in the current manifesto.then now they say they wanna implement hudud coincidently when the by-election is just around the corner.
Dear Tunku
Most Muslims do not like to associate themselves with dogs. I may be wrong, but I could see the picture of a man in songkok in place of the bog's face here. I plead with you to take this picture away. To err is human, but to forgive is divine. Faith and religion come from the heart. Wishing you another happy new year...
