Will Pakatan let PAS impose hudud law?

A Gerakan Youth leader warns that the ban on lottery tickets signals what will happen if the opposition takes control of Putrajaya.

ALOR STAR: A Gerakan Youth leader has warned that the ban on Big Sweep lottery tickets in Kelantan could be emulated in other Pakatan Rakyat-ruled states.

Tan Keng Liang also slammed the Pakatan leadership, especially DAP leaders, for keeping mum on the issue.

“Will Pakatan leaders allow PAS governments to impose hudud laws and its version of Islamic policies on non-Muslims in Kelantan and Kedah?” he asked.

The Kelantan PAS government recently expanded its ban on gambling to Big Sweep lottery tickets, causing a public row.

Local MCA leaders had condemned the ban, pointing out that the Social Welfare (Big Sweep) lottery was governed by federal laws.

Under existing regulations, only non-Muslims are allowed to purchase Big Sweep lottery tickets.

MCA has also challenged other Pakatan governments in Kedah, Penang and Selangor to emulate their counterpart in Kelantan.

The Kota Bahru Municipal Council raided two book stalls this week for selling the banned tickets and issued summonses to the owners of the premises.

Reacting to this, Kelantan Chinese Chamber of Commerce president JP Goh described the raids as an “infringement on non-Muslim rights.”

Meanwhile, Tan said it was becoming clearer by the day that given an opportunity PAS would initiate drastic steps to impose its version of Islamist policies on non-Muslims.

“And, Pakatan would continue to be silent on it,” he added.

He cited an example where the PAS-led government in Kedah split men and women into different sections during the recent New Year eve celebrations.

“PAS was not bothered whether its rules affected non-Muslims or not,” he said.

The Gerakan leader said that until today, PAS had yet to unveil its version of Islamic state that it planned to implement if it assumed federal powers.

He noted that the pressing issue was also not expressly dealt with in Pakatan’s Common Policies Framework (CPF) launched in December 2009.

He said ambiguity in Pakatan’s policies had raised serious concern among Malaysians, especially those who wish to gamble the country’s fate with the opposition coalition.

“Pakatan leadership must clarify whether PAS will be allowed to implement its hudud laws and Islamic policies if the coalition takes over the Putrajaya administration,” he added. - FMT
