DAP adviser Lim Guan Eng has criticized PAS for dishonest and hypocritical statements regarding the DAP's stance on Islam, while highlighting his own record of reducing the number of special lottery draws. In a Facebook post, Lim stated that PAS had failed to acknowledge his role as the first finance minister to decrease the number of special lottery draws from 22 to eight a year during the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government from 2018 to 2020.
He claimed that in 2020, the PAS, Umno, Barisan Nasional (BN) and Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition government increased the number of special draws back to 22 a year, and they remained at that level until the BN/PN administration ended in late 2022.
Lim questioned PAS's repeated claims that DAP leaders were opposed to Islam, emphasizing that not praising him for the policy was acceptable, but he was puzzled by PAS's continued slander of DAP leaders as being against Islam. He stated that it was up to the public to decide whether PAS's two-faced political game was hypocritical and violated its own principles.
