WOULD PAKATAN ALSO ALLOW PAS TO IMPLEMENT HUDUD & PAS VERSION OF ISLAMIC POLICIES ON NON-MUSLIM AFTER PAKATAN SILENCE ON BAN OF LOTTERY?

I refer to the recent move by Kelantan government to ban the sale of Big Sweep lottery tickets in the state.

Under existing regulations, only non-Muslim are allowed to purchase these Big Sweep lottery tickets.

The move by Kelantan government would clearly infringe the affairs of non-Muslim. This would be a precedent for further infringement of the rights of non-Muslims in Pakatan Rakyat states.

PAS must understand that Malaysia is a multi racial and religion country and it is wrong to impose PAS’s views on non-Muslim in Pakatan Rakyat states.

It is even more evident now that when opportunity arises, PAS will take drastic steps to impose their views on non-Muslim and Pakatan Rakyat would be silent on the matter.

It can also be seen in recent New Year eve celebration in Kedah, where the state under PAS attempted to separate women and men at the event, regardless of whether they are Muslim or otherwise.

To date, PAS has not even stipulate clearly what version of Islamic State that they intend to implement in Malaysia. Pakatan Rakyat has also refuse to guarantee Malaysians that they would not implement Hudud and convert Malaysia into PAS version of Islamic State, if they take over the country. This matter has not been expressly dealt in Pakatan Rakyat Common Policies Framework launched in December, 2009.

The ambiguity in the “actual” policies of Pakatan Rakyat would be a serious cause of concerns for Malaysians that wish to gamble the fate of our country with Pakatan Rakyat, which is aligned to PAS.

The recent move by PAS shows that it is probable that PAS may impose Hudud & PAS version of Islamic policies in Malaysia on non-Muslim when opportunity arises.

Thus, if Pakatan Rakyat is a transparent political party, Pakatan Rakyat must clarify clearly to Malaysians whether Pakatan Rakyat would allow PAS to implement Hudud and PAS version of Islamic policies in Malaysia if they take over the country.
