Hadi in hot soup again, now over “communists and Agong rejecters in Pakatan” claim

[superadmin]

PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang has found himself in hot soup again, this time over his recent claim that Pakatan Harapan consists of “communists” and “rejectors of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong”.

Incumbent Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng noted that Hadi did not provide any proof or basis for his “seditious” remarks, some of which were rehashed on the former Marang MP’s Facebook account yesterday (Oct 15).

In listing reasons for the Islamist party’s position against accepting Pakatan, Hadi alleged: “In Pakatan, there are those who oppose Islam, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) persons, communists, traitors, those who reject the King, bribe-givers and bribe-takers.”

He added: “Bribe-givers and bribe-receivers are found in Pakatan even though they say they are against corruption. (Besides that), they get the contribution of people who give bribes and they don’t fight against LGBT and evils; they only focus on UMNO’s corruption.”

In a statement today, Lim dared Hadi to lodge a police report within the next 48 hours if the latter believes that Pakatan harbours communists and anti-monarchists.
