Tindakan Hadi terus serang DAP ‘agak menyedihkan’, kata Teresa

DAP lawmaker Teresa Kok expressed sadness at the continuous attacks on her party by PAS President Hadi Awang. Kuala Lumpur: Kok criticized PAS President Hadi Awang's remarks following his accusation that DAP is promoting the Communist Party of Malaya (PKM) and the Reform of the Municipal Reform (PSB) Bill, which aims to remove poor Malays.

Hadi made these claims on Facebook recently, stating that DAP is comparing the PKM's struggle against Japan during World War II to their own, which was later banned due to its political nature. The Communist sympathizers had suffered significant losses among Malay soldiers and police during the emergency period. Kok also accused the PSB Reform Bill of being proposed by the Ministry of Housing and Local Government under Minister Nga Kor Ming to force poor Malays out of urban areas for redevelopment.

As a Seputeh MP, Kok found Hadi's statements to be discriminatory and disappointing, as they continued to attack DAP. "I believe that in recent times, he has made several inflammatory statements and ones that lack basis, including accusing DAP of promoting PKM," Kok said to FMT after the presentation of the Jewel Awards in Bukit Jalil.

"We are the Democratic Action Party. Why should we elevate a party that clearly does not help us?" Kok questioned the motive behind Hadi's statements and whether they would help PAS gain more votes in the upcoming general election. However, Kok believed that such statements would only further divide Malaysia and garner more opposition.
