Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng contends that PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang, while free to criticize the DAP, should not be exempt from legal consequences for alleged anti-DAP statements. According to Lim, Hadi's claims contradict DAP's official positions on Islam, the Malay rulers, Bahasa Melayu, and bumiputera rights as outlined in the Federal Constitution.

In a Facebook post, Lim highlighted that Hadi's allegations, as stated in his "Minda Presiden PAS" writings, claim that the DAP seeks to eliminate Malays and Islam. Lim questioned why no prosecution had been initiated despite 28 police reports filed against Hadi in 2022, following remarks linking non-Muslims and non-bumiputera individuals to Malaysia's corruption issues.

Lim emphasized that Hadi has the right to a fair legal process, but not immunity from the law. He stressed that the law should be applied equally to all individuals, regardless of their political affiliation.
