Pas does not want to collaborate with Barisan Nasional (BN) because the latter is tainted by corruption scandals and filled with greedy and unrepentant leaders, says Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang.
The Pas president said this was the reason why the party delayed making a decision about an alliance with BN.
“We are working with Perikatan Nasional (PN) and reject those who give and take bribes. It is not that we want to make enemies. We take the enjoining right and forbidding wrong (‘amar makruf nahi mungkar’) stance.
“Many have come to persuade me, from those holding high positions to even the lowest (of ranks), to work with BN. I said, ‘let us think about it’.
“It is easier to be with Umno. We can win faster and gain people’s support. But we are not hasty,” he said in a video on his Facebook page.
PH has LGBT supporters, communists and traitors
Pas is also against any form of political cooperation with Pakatan Harapan (PH) due to the liberal political and moral ideology aspired by the component parties in the opposition political coalition.
Hadi claimed that there were quarters in PH who rejected Islam as well as those rejected the role of the Malay Royal Institution.
He also claimed there were also quarters who supported communist ideology as well as those who are all for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) .
“Apart from LGBT, there are communist and ‘khianat’ (traitors) in PH.
“(LGBT) Consented a male to marry a person of the same gender, engage in the act of ‘sword fighting’…this should not be allowed, this is not (the identity) of our society.
“Therefore, Pas vehemently rejects any form of cooperation with PH,” said Hadi when he delivered “Kuliah Dhuha” from Pantai Kelulut, Marang in Terengganu yesterday (Friday).
The session was broadcast live on his Facebook account.
Hadi also did not mince his words when he slammed PH for being ‘berat nanang’, a Terengganu slang for being extremely difficult to work with or awful.
He also claimed there were quarters in PH who did not only solicit bribes but also offer bribes.
“They clamour about being anti-corrupt but they received contributions from people who offered bribes.
“They champion about eliminating corruption, accusing Umno of corruption but they did not fight against other forms of ‘kemungkaran’ (atrocity).
“That is why Pas cannot be together with PH, because there are those who supported the LGBT and those who rejected Royals,” he said.
