Dewan Ulamak chief Datuk Harun Taib
says he fears that the DAP will be the one to lose out following its
Johore deputy chairman Norman Fernandez's damning remarks against Pas.
He said Pas is the biggest party in
Pakatan Rakyat and what Fernandez had said against Pas may cause DAP to
lose out on votes from Pas supporters.
Harun was commenting Fernandez's statement urging Johoreans to "think hard and deep if PAS is really worthy of their votes" and that he "for one have finally made up my mind and am convinced that PAS does not deserve my vote."
“As it is, Pas has the biggest number of support and it is increasing by days.”
“I fear that the DAP will suffer
from the effect of his (Fernandez) statement and not us. DAP may lose
out on Pas' votes for such remarks.”
However, Harun said Pas will continue to campaign for Pakatan Rakyat.
"Even though he (Fernandez) asked
people not to vote for Pas…let people say what they want. But for Pas,
we will keep campaigning for people to vote Pakatan,” he added.
In his writing which was widely circulated, Fernandez asked the people of Johor to think thoroughly on whether Pas is worthy of their votes.
He further wrote: “In
Johor, the Johor PAS continuous to maintain an elegant silence and have
thus far has failed and refused to make a open and clear stand if it
supports the imposition of hudud in Johor and if it will change the
weekend from Sunday to Friday. In Johor, Johoreans including me as a
voter, have a right to demand that Johor PAS state their stand.
What is certain is that PAS is
clearly insistent and hell-bent in imposing its own values, idealism and
policies on others and in truth despite the various overtures to
non-muslims cares two hoots about non-muslims or the feelings of
non-muslims.”
Harun said Pas will not demand Fernandez to apologise.
“It is up for him (Fernandez) to decide.”
Harun also said that it is up to the DAP whether to take action against Fernandez or not.
