PAS comes under more attacks

PAS has lashed out at BN and Perkasa over a theatening text message and racist leaflets.

MERLIMAU: With one day left before Merlimau goes to the polls on Sunday, more attacks have been launched at the Pakatan Rakyat contingent and its PAS candidate, Yuhaizad Abdullah.

The latest attack came from an unknown person via a text message sent to Yuhaizad. The person claimed to be a member of a gang named Geng Jebat Derhaka.

The message warned that the gang would disrupt Pakatan ceramahs which it said were being used as a platform to split the Malays.

It threatened to smash cars if any ceramah takes place.

Yuhaizad received the text message at 7.20pm yesterday.

The message read, “Geng Jebat Derhaka akan terus mengganas di ceramah-ceramah PR yang menjadi pentas memecah belahkan Melayu. Sekiranya anda mahu kejadian pecah kenderaan di Chin Chin dan Jalan Pahlawan berterusan hadirla ke ceramah2 PR pd mlm ini and seterusnya, awas keselamatan kereta anda tidak dijamin”.

Two nights ago, the windows of a few cars were smashed at venues where PR ceramahs were held.

PAS vice-president, Salahuddin Ayub, told a press conference today that although the identity of the text message sender is unknown, he has reason to believe that it originated from Barisan Nasional (BN).

“We deeply regret that BN has resorted to such tactics,” he said. “We have lodged a police report and we hope that investigations can begin immediately. We’re very concerned that such uncontrolled incidents will affect voting on Sunday.”

Salahuddin also said that stones were allegedly thrown at the car carrying Pakatan leader Anwar Ibrahim when he visited Merlimau on Tuesday night.

“What was worse is that the police who were present merely stood by,” he said.”Nothing like this happened during the Tenang by-election and I call on (Malacca Chief Minister) Mohd Ali Rustam to take responsibility and put a stop to this.”

Racist leaflets

One incident, however, appeared to be a repeat of the one that happened in Tenang. According to PKR Youth chief Shamsul Iskandar Akin, leaflets with racial overtones were making the rounds in a few residential areas.

The leaflet bore the headline “Keling Tak Sedar Diri” and a front-page picture of the Hindraf rally carried by Utusan Malaysia. Keling is a derogatory term for the Indians.

“A voter handed one of these leaflets to the PKR operations centre today,” he said. “We have already lodged a police report.”

When asked who he believed was behind it, Shamsul pointed a finger at Perkasa.

“Perkasa’s name is not on the leaflet,” he said. “But the design is the same as the anti-Chinese leaflets at the Tenang by-election which were also said to be distributed by Perkasa.”

But Perkasa Youth chief, Arman Azha Abu Hanifah, laughed off the accusations, saying PAS is concocting “nonsense” to make up for its lack of ideas.

“Perkasa has never bothered the Chinese or the Indians before,” he told FMT. “Why would we start now? I laughed when we were accused of distributing the leaflets in Tenang and I’m laughing again now.”

“This is purely provocation by PAS to tarnish Perkasa’s image. They are running out of ideas and are making Perkasa the scapegoat. Whatever they are saying is completely false.” - FMT
