Hadi’s Remark on Non-Muslims at Melaka Rally Draws Attention

With less than 48 hours before Melaka voted, PAS president Hadi Awang urged Muslims to fulfil their duty to vote, speaking at the BN-PN grand finale rally in Bukit Katil to more than 1,000 supporters.

He said Islamic political calculations are based on sin and reward, unlike non-Muslims, whom he described as “unjust.” He said that if Muslims do not vote, others will govern and ignore obligations set by God, and that even the worst Muslim ruler is not as unjust as non-Muslims.

PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said PH was attacking PAS over Najib’s conditional pardon, and said the Pardons Board’s decision should be supported. He questioned whether DAP leaders’ resignations were genuine, after Loke resigned as Transport Minister.

Gerakan president Dominic Lau urged supporters to back its Ayer Keroh candidate. Umno’s Ahmad Maslan delivered pantun to cheers.

The rally showed strong BN-PN unity, with past Umno-PAS rivalry seemingly forgotten, according to Malaysiakini. BN is contesting 23 seats and PN five. PH is contesting 24, Bersama 16, Bersatu seven and Putra one.
