PAS Supporters Wing Hoping For Voting Right Plan To Materialise

KOTA BAHARU, May 25 (Bernama) -- The PAS Supporters Wing hopes that party president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang's plan to allow the wing's non-Muslim members to vote in the party elections will become a reality soon.
The wing's head Hu Pang Chaw said this was important and should be given attention by the PAS annual assembly to be held here next month.
"We have waited long for the good news and the implementation of the plan should be expedited.
"This is the openness in PAS, and the matter should be discussed in depth at the upcoming 'muktamar' for the party constitution to be amended, to give the wing members the right to vote in the party elections," he told Bernama, here, Tuesday.
Recently, after launching the PAS Supporters Wing in Klang, Selangor, Abdul Hadi said that PAS would discuss the possibility of allowing the wing's non-Muslim members to vote in the party elections in future.
He said to realise the plan, the party constitution needed to be amended and the amendments approved by the Registrar of Societies.
Hu also hoped that the non-Muslims could also be selected to represent PAS in the general election in future.
"We have candidates of calibre to represent PAS if the plan becomes a reality," he said, adding that the matter, however, required indepth discussion by the opposition pact and more to be done by the PAS leadership.
The PAS Supporters Wing is said to have about 20,000 members throughout the country.
