YOURSAY ‘His speech at the muktamar is the last straw that breaks the camel's back.’
Hadi says no to unity gov't with Umno
Muhibbah: It's a hollow speech by PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang at the PAS muktamar because his past records have shown otherwise, namely:
1) Sabotage of PKR's candidate in the Kota Damansara seat in 2013, resulting in a win for Umno-BN. Pakatan held that seat in 2008.
2) The unity government was mooted in 2008 where he and his cohorts were in favour of that arrangement but backed down due to lack of support.
3) The recent admission of recruiting a PKR leader (PKR deputy leader Azmin Ali) to jump ship by offering the MB’s post to him, a clear sign of betrayal to its partners in PR.
4) His uncooperative stand with regards to the Selangor MB crisis.
5) The nomination of party members for the MB’s post though outwardly saying that PAS is not keen for the post. Hypocritical indeed.
6) Losing Terengganu and Kedah to BN under his presidency.
Are we naive to believe your speech? Nay.
Concerned1: This so-called Islamic scholar's ability to lie is astounding.
Quigonbond: I can entertain the notion that Hadi does not want to unite with Umno. But his actions causing severe fissure within Pakatan is no different than ruining Selangor state administration, tempting a dissolution of state assembly, and allowing BN to have another go at Selangor.
The non-Muslims/Malays (and moderate ones) are going to punish PAS. If they by default vote for BN, Pakatan Rakyat is royally screwed in Selangor. All thanks to PAS.
In the end, if true that Hadi is not interested in working with Umno, then the singular motive is to become PM. He cannot have Wan Azizah become MB because then the political convention is forever altered to allow for a woman leader.
After GE14, DAP and PKR will want Wan Azizah to be PM and Hadi will never become one. So this is all about him becoming PM. It's just as good as betraying Pakatan because no voter expects Hadi to become PM.
Anonymous #05023297: I'm sorry Hadi. I lost confidence in you and in many respects PAS as well. You messed up Kelantan and Terengganu, and now this.
You can say what you want and use Islam to cloak yours and your syura council's acts of deceit. The fact that you had wanted to work with Umno is telling.
Ray-G: Hadi is the Judas of Pakatan, I would say. I don't think his own people in PAS will trust him, let alone people from outside the party.
It sad to see leaders in PAS who go around crying that Umno had betrayed them in the past, when they are now betraying Pakatan.
Umno Kayu: Hadi, no matter what you say or do, the mess that you have created during the Selangor MB crisis has made PAS lose its credibility. We Selangorians will never trust you again.
ConstitutionIsSupreme: I had been a strong promoter of PAS even before the formation of Semangat 46, until lately. The U-turn by Hadi Awang, who claims to be a religious scholar, to me is sickening if not downright disgusting.
His speech at the PAS muktamar yesterday is the last straw that breaks the camel's back for me. How could a so-called spiritual man who had betrayed his partners in Pakatan, demand his partners not to betray the coalition?
In my opinion, Hadi Awang has not only betrayed PKR and DAP, but also his religion when his actions are against the Islamic teachings of integrity, honesty and to be good to your neighbour.
Multi Racial: The moderates in PAS did not stage a walk out during the presidential speech. This shows who is doing the right thing.
It is a shame for those 70 PAS Youth members to show disrespect for the deputy president. What is so wrong about Mohamad Sabu? The fact he dares to speak out what he thinks is wrong, goes to show his courageous side, which a party like PAS desperately needs.
Mohd Sabu may be right or wrong in his stand. Instead of blindly supporting Hadi who could very well be wrong, these youth members should listen to what their deputy president got to say and if they don't agree, question him. Why walk out?
Is that what Hadi refers to as Islamic principles?
The Mask: Just imagine, a religious leader and PAS president has got the cheek to tell others not to betray PAS, when he himself is actually without a doubt, 101 percent, the greatest betrayer. He must really be amnesiac or worse, senile.
PAS chief says one thing, does another
