YOURSAY | Be prepared for race-religion onslaught from PAS

[superadmin]

VioletGopher4717: Why, thank you, PAS, for choosing to stay out of the government. We, the people who didn't vote for your brand of politics and PAS, which uses race and religion to gain power, appreciate it very much.

Also, we see what you're trying to do. Without - for the lack of a better word - demonising DAP and ‘othering’ everyone who don't accept your ideology, including Malaysians who identify as Malays and Muslims, do you have anything of value to contribute?

Perhaps show us how well the states under your governance perform in terms of the economy, education, healthcare, welfare, and lifting the people out of poverty. Can you do that? If not, please, take a seat and leave governing to people who can.

YellowKancil0051: As usual, PAS will use divisive tactics by somehow singling out DAP in their statement. No doubt, they will use this in their propaganda to say Harapan is somehow controlled by non-Malays (read: DAP) when that is far from the truth taking into consideration all the government's component parties.

Truly, I hope Malaysians will wise up to PAS and their race/religion rhetoric and open their eyes to broader politics that focus on bread-and-butter issues that are more important - issues that PAS have shown they fail miserably in states that they govern.

The non-Malays have already rejected parties like MIC and MCA because they are no longer relevant when they condone corruption in BN - issues that affect all Malaysians regardless of race or religion.

Thankfully, there are Muslim Malaysians who reject PAS and accurately identify them as ‘penunggang agama’ (religious manipulators) who use religion to justify all their misgivings. Let’s hope all Malaysians, especially the Malay youth, open their eyes.

The non-Malays are not trying to supplant Islam or overthrow Malay institutions.
