Adhere to Malay rulers’ call, stop fanning hate based on race, religion – Rais Hussin

[superadmin]

THOSE who claim to uphold Malay supremacy and extremist religious ideologies are now challenged when the very symbol they claim to defend – the Malay rulers – have urged the new government to instil a “spirit of togetherness” among Malaysians.

Specifically, the Yang di-Pertuan Besar Negri Sembilan Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir reportedly said the following: “I hope that there will be no more leaders who raise racial or religious issues with the aim of inciting the community” after chairing the 260th Council of Rulers meeting today (November 30, 2022).

This is timely advice, and a frankly, a stern warning from the Malay rulers, given the sharp rise of ethnocentric and theocentric narratives from certain political sides, aiming to fan hate, racism and discrimination by using dirty tactics of instigation, fake news and slander – all of which are against the true teachings of Islamic leadership.

Hadi Awang to give statement to police over provocative remarks

KUALA LUMPUR – PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang has been summoned by the police to provide a statement following several police reports lodged against him recently.

According to his press secretary Abdul Malik Ab Razak, the Marang MP will head to the Sentul district police headquarters around 3pm, today.

The latest update comes after Hadi had told Pakatan Harapan (PH) to go ahead and lodge a police report against him as he was ready to be called up to Bukit Aman.

PKR information chief Fahmi Fadzil had earlier urged PAS to stop spreading “hate and misinformation” and challenged the party to initiate police probes if it believes that DAP – a PH component – was guilty of the accusations flung by Hadi.

Not until next polls, says Hadi on ‘toppling govt’

KUALA LUMPUR: PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang has dismissed claims that there are plans to topple the government headed by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

“Not until the next general election,” Hadi said when asked to respond on the claims.

He added that Perikatan Nasional (PN) will seek to widen its influence before the next polls, after snatching 73 seats in the recent general election.

When asked to confirm that there were no plans to topple the government, Hadi said PAS will consider the government’s performance and Malaysians’ response to Anwar’s administration first.
