KUALA LUMPUR: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has questioned whether PAS' plans for hudud can serve justice to Malaysia's multi-religious population."They have a stand (on hudud), they say hudud is for Muslims only.
"So, if you happen to go stealing with a non-Muslim friend, they'll chop off your hand but your Chinese or Indian friend will get two months' jail.
"To PAS, that is justice. Of course, if you do something else, they'll chop off your head," he told a press conference Thursday.
The former prime minister was responding to reports that the Kelantan government announcing the setting up of a hudud technical committee headed by Deputy Mentri Besar Datuk Ahmad Yakob.
tunku : that is what we call it pas's hudud not the real hudud. the actual hudud applies to all but pas's hudud is created to suits them ( to get non muslim support/vote). if a couple of muslim and non muslim is caught for khalwat, how can justice be done when only one person get the punishment.

This debate has been always about purity and impurity. On the one hand some feel that this world must go back to the early days of civilization while other feel that with all the migration of people that has take place and is taking place the term purity has taken on a more abstract meaning and elevated to realm of purity in governance. I am inclined to belive that if there is purity in the way we are governed these issues will neve come up.
We are a multi racial country and no one can change that although there are people who are trying to do so in the name of purity.
The constitution is there and we have rule and regulations, good or bad, that are there for our political masters to run this country.And this debate over purity and impuruty should shift to that aspect of our efforts at nation-building. Only good governance will see this country emerge as one of the leading groups of nation on this globe.
