  "account": "PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang maintains his stance on several remarks made against the DAP over the past month. He has stated that he will defend these remarks in court. Following a police summons, Hadi informed the authorities that he received reports regarding his controversial statements. However, it is now understood that no charges will be filed against him, as he was only summoned to provide a statement. According to Hadi, his remarks were based on DAP's constitution and history. He emphasized that the DAP cannot deny this fact. Any other responses will be addressed in court, as reported by Berita Harian. Last week, Hadi's aide revealed that the Marang MP had provided a statement to Bukit Aman due to multiple police reports lodged against him for allegedly offending DAP. Hadi accused the DAP of attempting to steer the constitution towards secular rule and celebrating the Communist Party of Malaya's struggle. He further claimed that DAP was facilitating the continuation of the colonizers' efforts to undermine Malay-Muslims, citing its support for local council elections and its \"Malaysian Malaysia\" vision among other actions. Hadi defended his statements by asserting their grounding in Islamic scripture, the Federal Constitution, and previous DAP leader statements.",
