Politics of deflection, my dear Watson - superadmin - 05-24-2023

RECENTLY, PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang said that his party is “not a ball that could be kicked around by other parties for political businesses by promising rank, property and status.”

When clearly the Marang MP is known for his fiery polemic – not only on religion but on race – and even attempts at justifying corruption as the action between the “willing giver and willing recipient”, Hadi is obviously a master of deflection politics.

“It is forbidden for all parties to use Islam and try to separate politics from the religion. Politics is a tool for religion to implement the teaching, protect it and defend it,” he is cited by Sinar Harian in a Facebook post on May 17.

PAS, being a party that was mainly confined to Kelantan and Terengganu rode the hype around the Pakatan Rakyat to become part of the state governments in West coast states of Selangor and Perak.
