A Penang-based Malay NGO also urges the ex-PAS man to quit his elected rep post as a matter of principle.
GEORGE TOWN: A Penang-based Malay NGO has slammed axed PAS man Hasan Ali for causing disharmony and disunity among Malaysians with his seditious “republic” claims against Pakatan Rakyat.
Penang Malay Congress president Rahmad Isahak said Hassan was making an outrageous claim merely to sustain his political survival.
“He stirred sentiments of the Malaysian multiracial society. He has resorted to cheap political stunts to save his sinking political ship,” he told a press conference here yesterday.
Rahmad said that the former PAS vice-president should get his facts right before shooting his mouth off.
He said PMC found that Hasan’s seditious allegations were unfounded after holding dialogues with the leadership of Pakatan Rakyat parties, especially with senior ethnic Malay leaders from DAP.
“Such an agenda does not exist in Pakatan. Hasan’s seditious remarks have gone beyond reasonable doubt and sensible logic. He has only managed to embarrass the Malays with his wild allegations.
“He has dug his own political grave by reacting to rumours,” fired Rahmad.
Also present during the press conference were PMC secretary Mohd Noor Kadir and its treasurer Mohd Faisal Kader.
‘Quit as assemblyman’
Hasan, who was sacked from PAS on Jan 9, claimed that Pakatan, especially the DAP, would turn the country, which is based on the system of constitutional monarchy, into a republic.
The former executive councillor from Selangor’s Pakatan government claimed that Malaysia could join with Singapore to achieve this agenda.
Meanwhile, Rahmad also called on Hasan to resign as the Gombak Setia assemblyman since he had won the seat under the PAS ticket in the 2008 general election.
He said Hasan should prove to be a man with principles to give up his seat allotted to him by PAS.
“It would be immoral for him to keep the seat while he condemns PAS. He should resign immediately as a matter of principle,” he added.
