Ignorance has overshadowed Pakatan

Khalid hits back at PAS delegates on promotion of Islam

PETALING JAYA: Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim has denied criticisms by some PAS delegates that the Pakatan Rakyat coalition is not doing enough to promote Islam.
He said Muslims had a collective responsibility to be proactive and that he was doing his part to promote Islam in the state.
Khalid was responding to the PAS delegates attending a special seminar on Saturday.
They had voiced concern that the PKR-PAS-DAP coalition might not augur well for the propagation of Islam.
This comes in the wake of several controversies involving Selangor PAS chief and exco member Datuk Dr Hasan Ali and the state government in recent times.
Besides protesting the sale of beer in Muslim majority areas and locking horns with his DAP counterpart Ronnie Liu, Dr Hasan had also created a furore by accusing Selangor’s Select Committee for Competency, Accountability and Transparency (Selcat) of bullying civil servants at its inquiry.
This earned him the ire of Speaker Teng Chang Khim, also from the DAP.
Khalid told the PAS delegates to “walk the talk.”
“If you want to be a leader, people have to accept you as a leader,” he said.
“It is not merely about you wanting others to say that you are a leader.”

"Forget the voices in the dark. They should be ignored"- KHALID SAMAD
In an immediate reaction, Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad said the opinions voiced by some party members in the seminar did not represent the view of the majority.
“There are always the sceptics as PAS is a broad-based organisation,” he said.
“However, the resolution passed reflected the majority support for the Pakatan coalition.”
Khalid Samad said these sceptics sometimes made “silly” statements, and they were the ones who were the least authorised and knowledgeable.
“They are completely in the dark,” he said. “Forget the voices in the dark. They should be ignored,” he said.

tunku : what had happened to Umno/Bn before is now happening with pakatan. they think those opposing voices are the voices in the dark. they are not learning it from Umno.Umno did not listen to the voices in the dark till the dark showed them what they can do in the last GE. it is not the BN members voices, it's their own people voices. that is why we want those in the dark in pakatan camp to leave the party and join BN. if you stays there, you will be in dark forever.
