Hadi draws flak for politicking amid deadly east coast floods

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang found himself in the firing line of social media users for his “obsession” with the formation of the unity government, as monsoon-triggered floods continue to ravage his home state of Terengganu.

The year-end flood, which has inundated major parts of Terengganu and neighbouring Kelantan, has killed at least five people, while more than 70,000 others had to be evacuated to temporary relief centres.

In his own constituency of Marang, 232 flood victims remain displaced in four centres as of 5.30pm today and are currently stationed at two relief centres.

However, Hadi had shared photos of his visits to several flood-affected areas in the past few days and distributed aid to victims.

This, however, did not impress netizens, who took particular issue with his recent scathing statements on the unity government, particularly about PAS’ nemesis DAP, amid the deadly disaster.

In his statement today, Hadi focused his attack on urging the rakyat to reject leaders who tend to deceive the public in trying to clinch federal power, accusing Pakatan Harapan (PH) of lying its way into forming the government both in the 2018 and recent general elections.
