PETALING JAYA: The more PAS talks about religion, the better it will be for Barisan Nasional (BN) in the Johor state elections as the state has a balanced population of Malays and non-Malays, says state Umno deputy chief Nur Jazlan Mohamed.

He said the Islamic party, which is contesting 15 seats, is bereft of ideas and all they talk about is polygamy and promoting ridiculous practices like saying husbands can beat their wives “lightly”, among others.

“In Johor, we have a multiracial society, with Malays and non-Malays. PAS is welcome to talk about their brand of religion.

“They can’t engage in discussions about education or the economy. They only know how to talk about religion.


“Go ahead, the more they do it, the more non-Malays will return to the BN fold,” he said in a video interview with Malaysia Gazette last night.
