PAS membership offer to non-Muslims rings hollow

[superadmin]

PAS is finally conceding, openly, that the party simply cannot lead the federal government without obtaining non-Malay support – something most of us knew all along, actually.

At the party’s recent general assembly, PAS members voted to allow non-Muslims to sign up as associate members. It also announced that the non-Muslim supporters group (DHPP) would take on a bigger role as a party wing housing the associate members.

Should we consider this a progressive move in line with its "PAS For All" slogan? On paper it appears so, as the party head Abdul Hadi Awang had in the past constantly spewed vitriol on non-Malays, blaming them for a host of ills facing the nation.
