PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang's silence on allegations against Prime Minister Najib Razak suggests the Islamist party chief is not interested in Malaysia's fate, said opposition veteran Lim Kit Siang.
"Hadi has made clear as to where he stands on the (1MDB) issue - that he wants to 'Save Najib' and not to 'Save Malaysia'.
"Is this why Hadi had not said a single word of condemnation or even criticism against Najib over the 1MDB scandal, although it is the 'mother' of all financial scandals in Malaysia, and is even regarded as the largest kleptocratic scandal in the world?" he asked.
In his speech last night at Changkat Jong, Perak, Lim however warned he is seeing signs the grassroots PAS and Umno leaders may not follow their leaders blindly.
He cited news of the defeat of PAS Youth chief Nik Abduh Nik Aziz at the Pengkalan Chepa PAS division election and PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan, at the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) election.
"These two news items remind us that a quiet revolution is taking place in our nation, and it is a great error of judgment for anyone to take the people’s support for granted, he said.
In particular, Lim said PAS and Umno leaders should not assume their members would definitely vote in accordance with their wishes and directives, regardless of the circumstances.
