State stand on hudud law, PKR and DAP urged


PETALING JAYA: PKR and DAP should make their stand on PAS’ goal to implement hudud law should the Pakatan Rakyat win in a general election, MCA Youth Chief Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong said.

“Other political parties in the Pakatan Rakyat should announce publicly whether they agree with PAS on the implementation of hudud law,” he said.

He was asked to comment on PAS vice-president Husam Musa’s statement on Saturday that hudud law would be implemented if the party was to take over Government.

The statement was made during a forum titled “Malaysia’s Political Transformation” with Umno Youth deputy chief Khairy Jamaluddin.

Dr Wee said any collaboration between political parties would have a consensus on their political struggle and ideology.

“They should not hide the fact that their ultimate goal is to fish vote,” he said, adding that the MCA would continue to uphold the Federal Constitution.

Meanwhile, Khairy pointed out that he did not say that hudud laws would be implemented as reported in the Sunday Star yesterday.

He had said that the status quo would be maintained.

He added that it was Husam who said hudud laws would be implemented if Pakatan Rakyat formed the Federal Government.
