PKR trio fire back at Hadi’s remarks on Muslim, non-Muslim leaders
Political differences should not be debated along religious lines, says Chang Lih Kang, while Fuziah Salleh and Kamil Munim question the PAS links with MCA and Gerakan.
Several PKR leaders have criticised PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang over his remarks comparing Muslim and non-Muslim leaders, warning that religious sentiments should not be used to divide Malaysians for political gain. PKR vice-president Datuk Chang Lih Kang said political differences should be debated based on policies and solutions to people’s problems rather than religious sentiments.
Abdul Hadi was quoted as saying that even the worst Muslim leaders governing a country would not be as oppressive as non-Muslims. The PKR leaders argue that such statements are deeply disappointing and harmful to the country's multiracial and multireligious harmony, essential for economic development, investor confidence, and job creation.
