No Hudud if Pakatan takes over federal government

Hudud not first priority for PAS, says sec-gen

LABIS, Jan 26 — PAS has pledged that it will not implement hudud if Pakatan Rakyat (PR) takes over the federal government although it will not budge from pushing for Islamic policies.
Its secretary-general Datuk Mustafa Ali said this today in Tenang, Johor where MCA has made the Islamic state pursued by PAS a major issue for the January 30 polls.
“Even if PAS had absolute power with two-thirds majority in Parliament, the first thing that PAS will do is not hudud,” he said in a press conference this morning.
Mustafa said that it could not implement hudud immediately upon taking over the federal government as there were preconditions such as economic justice, minimum wage and punishing rulers if poor people had to steal before the laws could be introduced.
He added that hudud was not in the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) Common Policy Framework.
MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek has attacked PAS’s Islamic state policy in the Tenang campaign, where he was reported to have said that voting for Normala was voting for an Islamic state.
The former health minister had said that even though DAP was an ally in PR, it could not stop PAS from continuing its Islamic state policies.
“If PR wins at the federal level, I feel that it is not possible. PAS will be the leader as the party with more resources as compared to DAP and PKR,” Dr Chua said.
Mustafa said that Barisan Nasional (BN) was trying to play up racial sentiments to create animosity between the voters and PR.

tunku : so i guess this should be the official statement to all pas followers that they have been fooled all these while that pas is going to uphold Islamic state and introduce the syariah laws.it's confirmed now that pas is not interested in implementing it just to get some extra votes.pas has sold their struggle to dap for free.
