Nik Abduh slammed as ‘insensitive’ and ‘weird’
PETALING JAYA: Pundits have denounced a PAS leader for belittling a campaign to encourage neighbourly help to people impoverished as a result of the government’s efforts to contain Covid-19.
They said PAS central committee member Nik Abduh Nik Abdul Aziz was displaying his insensitivity and lack of leadership skills when he implied that the White Flag Campaign was for weak people with a defeatist attitude.
The campaign, initiated by netizens, calls for the raising of a white flag from the home of anyone needing immediate help, particularly in terms of food.

The campaign, initiated by netizens, calls for the raising of a white flag from the home of anyone needing immediate help, particularly in terms of food.
In a Facebook post yesterday, Nik Abduh said: “Raise your hands in prayer to God. That is the flag of strength and optimism in the test of life. Don’t admit defeat when being tested.”
Universiti Malaya lecturer Awang Azman Pawi called it a “weird” reaction, saying he failed to understand why PAS would not support the flag campaign and why Nik Abduh could not see the difference between a prayer as an “internal call” and the campaign as an “external call” for assistance in troubled times.
