  "summary": "PAS has rejected Malaysiakini’s report, accusing the outlet of misrepresenting and taking remarks out of context. The controversy centers around Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang’s speech, where the PAS president’s office claims the report \"Sejahat-jahat orang Islam tak sezalim bukan Islam\" (Even the worst Muslim is not as cruel as a non-Muslim) misrepresented his speech. Hadi was explaining the principles of Islamic politics, stating that they are guided by considerations of sin and reward, which would lead to just governance and ensure the rights of non-Muslims. PAS has expressed regret over the media narrative, emphasizing their rejection of any attempt to stir up racial sentiments ahead of the Melaka state election.",
