Nik Aziz Wants To Run Down Political Enemies, Not Defend Islam - Tun M

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 31 (Bernama) -- Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat is only interested in running down political enemies and not defend Islam against attacks by Lee Kuan Yew.
He regretted Nik Aziz' defence of Kuan Yew's view that Muslims in the republic should not hold fast to Islam.
The Kelantan Menteri Besar said that the Singapore Mentor Minister's view was not as bad as Muslim Malay nationalists.
"Imagine Islam under Nik Aziz, Karpal, Kit Siang and Guan Eng. Nik Aziz will probably agree that Islam be compromised if asked to by partners," he said in his new entry in his blog www.chedet.co.cc today.
He said the situation now is different than during British rule where many Malay leaders consumed liquor while the Malay workers took toddy.
Dr Mahathir said the Muslim Malay rule presently was due to the struggle of Malay nationalists.
"They ban liquor during government functions, inculcate Islamic values, allocate funds for Islamic activities, facilitate Muslims to perform haj, build mosques, set up Universiti Islam, Bank Islam, Takaful and ban national lottery."
The former prime minister said the biggest triumph for PAS and Nik Aziz was to divide Muslims in the country.
"PAS divide Muslims by having two imams during Friday prayers and banning marriages between PAS and Umno members," he added.

tunku : i agreed 100% with Tun, pas biggest achievement or biggest triumph was to divide Muslims and they are still doing it. now it is even withdrawing from introducing hudud law or establishing Islamic state.nizar had said loud and clear at Perak State Assembly about it. to me is not an nik azizulama, he is just a politician who uses religion as his political tool.you can see it clearly, he did not condemn lee kuan yew's statement on the Muslims in the republic should not hold fast to Islam at all.if he's truly an ulama he had condemned lee's statement.he is just a dirty politician.
