Kamil kecam Hadi umpakan CSA ‘dajal’

Ketua Pemuda PKR ingatkan PAS sebahagian kerajaan ketika tandatangan perjanjian serupa dengan PH pada 2021.

Kamil kecam Hadi umpakan CSA ‘dajal’

Kamil Munim, the deputy youth leader of PKR, has criticized PAS President Hadi Awang for using religious terms to assess a recent agreement. On September 13, 2021, an MoU was signed between the government, which includes PAS, and Pakatan Harapan (PH). Despite being called an MoU, the document contains elements of CSA, which is aimed at ensuring government stability and approval of the budget.

Kamil noted that such memoranda would be necessary during PAS's time in power. He questioned why the term "dajal" was used when PAS is out of power. Could this be a new political mechanism in PAS? Is it permissible or forbidden? The question is posed on a Facebook post. Hadi recently claimed that the CSA, signed between the government and seven opposition MPs, is a dajal-like approach in Islam, which is considered a major sign of the imminent Day of Judgment.

In the statement, he claimed that the CSA is an approach to the end times that makes power a mandatory requirement for everyone, rather than making it an obligation. He said that any party that becomes the government must fulfill its obligations directly to the people without having to make a promise beforehand. Meanwhile, Kamil, who is also a practicing politician in charge of the finance minister, condemned Hadi's use of religious terms to assess something that was previously accepted while PAS was in power.

While one can have different opinions on CSA and debate its terms and implementation, one should not resort to religious terms to condemn something that was previously accepted while in power. Islam teaches us to be fair and adhere to principles, rather than providing different standards based on who is in power, Kamil said. The MoU was signed by former Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob, who lacked a strong parliamentary majority, with PH during a weak government.

Under the MoU, the government agreed not to dissolve Parliament before July 31, 2022, while PH agreed to support the 2022 budget and related legislation, and not support the proposal to hold a vote of no confidence.
