Hadi dicabar jelaskan mengapa DAP tak jadi ancaman ketika bersama Pakatan Rakyat

Hadi Awang, the leader of PAS, recently explained why DAP is not considered a threat despite their collaboration within Pakatan Rakyat. The four DAP leaders who challenged PAS President Hadi Awang are Syahredzan Johan, Young Syefura Othman, Sheikh Umar Bagharib Ali, and Syerleena Abdul Rashid. They penned a statement to clarify why the formation of the party did not hinder cooperation with PAS in the past, including joint general elections.

The challenge followed Hadi's article titled "Islamic State and Its Relation to Non-Islamic," published the previous day. Critics allege that Hadi used Islam for political gain rather than scholarly writing. They emphasized that DAP upheld the Federal Constitution, including Islamic status, Malay privileges, Sabah and Sarawak's statehood, Malay language, and Raja-raja institutions.

They also affirmed their support for parliamentary democracy, freedom of religion, interests of all communities, and citizens' right to express, learn, and teach in their native language.

They reiterated their commitment to the slogan "Malaysia for the people of Malaysia," noting it reflects the principle of equality in Article 8 without excluding other provisions, including Article 153. The four leaders asserted that political differences should not lead others to be accused of being un-Islamic, unpatriotic, or disrespectful to the constitution. "Malaysia's politics should move forward with argument and evidence, not by sowing fear among different communities and religions," they stated.

They also resurrected Haji Hadi's order on April 7, 1981, which has long been debated due to its impact on societal and cultural fragmentation. According to them, PAS denies the existence of non-Muslims. They find the language that can divide the people offensive during national days and as the country celebrates its 69th birthday.

They emphasized that what should be upheld is a Malaysia bound by the constitution, respecting Islam as the state religion, safeguarding the rights of all citizens, and building unity in diversity.
