While PAS' spiritual leader warns of divine retribution for those who escape the audit here but fail to clear the audit in the hereafter, the party's information chief pushes for a terrestrial response in the form of a demonstration.
In a press statement peppered with religious anecdotes, Nik Aziz Nik Mat said: "We may escape the audit in this world but hell awaits those who fail to clear the audit in the hereafter."
The former Kelantan menteri besar expressed disappointment over the billions of ringgit in leakages as recorded in the audit report released yesterday.
"This is not small amount. The budget for Kelantan is only RM500 million a year. Imagine if these billions could be saved and channeled to states like Kelantan.
"This is not the first time. It would happen over and over again if Umno and Barisan Nasional continue to be the (federal) government," he added.
According to the religious scholar, the problem stemmed from man-made laws.
"A herd of goats cannot be controlled by other goats. A shepherd is required. Man can never control another man... they need a more superior power which is Allah," he said.
Demo
Meanwhile, Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man called on the people to stage a protest against the financial misdeeds highlighted in the report.
"I think it is time we hold an assembly like Bersih, but this time we should push for an investigation and for action to be taken against those responsible
"The pressure has to be mounted and it must come from the rakyat. It should be continuous until the BN government admits," said the PAS information chief.
Tuan Ibrahim said if a protest was not held to send a clear message, then the culture of leakages and wastage would continue.
