SHAH ALAM: Having already secured a big chunk of Malay support, PAS must now work on winning over non-Malay and non-Muslim voters in the 16th general election (GE16), says its president, Abdul Hadi Awang.
Describing this task as an “important and challenging” responsibility, Hadi said this is crucial for the party and Perikatan Nasional to form the federal government on its own at the polls.
He reiterated that PAS’s agenda of “uniting the ummah” does not mean the rights of non-Malays and non-Muslims would be ignored.
“In fact, we will continue to preserve freedom of religion and ensure justice, as enshrined under the Federal Constitution,” he said in officiating PAS’s 69th muktamar here today.
Hadi also said PAS’s PN partner, Gerakan, must do more to woo non-Muslim support, particularly to explain the benefits of a PN administration.
“The responsibility of attracting non-Muslim support and explaining to them that justice and harmony would be guaranteed under PN rule must be carried out, especially by our friends in Gerakan,” he said.
