PETALING JAYA: Amanah has challenged PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang to prove that Pakatan Harapan comprises individuals who are susceptible to graft.
Its deputy president Salahuddin Ayub said as an Islamic scholar, Hadi should know very well that Muslims were prohibited from making accusations without furnishing proof.
Therefore, Hadi must back his claim that the opposition coalition took and gave bribes, he said.
Salahuddin said he was bemused by Hadi’s latest claim that the Islamic party rejected any cooperation with PH as the opposition coalition allegedly gave and took bribes.
Yet, he said, PAS was still keen to work with Umno which saw some of its leaders convicted of graft.
“So what message are you trying to send to the public? That you can close an eye to graft when it comes to certain parties?”
DAP’s Charles Santiago shared a similar sentiment, pointing out that Hadi had yet to explain a RM1.4 million settlement with Sarawak Report editor Clare Rewcastle Brown in his defamation suit against her.
Rewcastle Brown had alleged that PAS had received money from Umno years before the previous general election.
“So, he shouldn’t be pointing fingers when his hands are not exactly clean,” Santiago said.
The Klang MP also said if one were to read between the lines of Hadi’s latest statement, it was nothing more than another attack on the non-Malays and this was unacceptable.
Hadi’s recent statement, Santiago said, came right after he had linked graft to non-Muslims.
“He is trying to fan the flames of racism and this is not right.” - FMT
