Hudud: A PAS objective, not an agreed Pakatan agenda



Like any reader of theSin Chew Daily, I was dumbfounded by the front page pretension upon August 28, which reads: "PAS will exercise hudud when it rules".

My split-second reaction was: "Gosh, this is serious!". Flashing instantly across the thoughts is the picture of an Islamic state, churned with the consternation which PAS competence have unexpected changed course over the Islamic state issue as well as the devastating electoral result which can be approaching to occur from the Chinese village following such the shocking turn of event.

NONEAnxious to know more, I review by the complete two pages covering the eventuality though pause, as well as was relieved that, as I expected, PAS has in law hold upon to the routine of putting the pursuit of an Islamic state as well as doing of hudud as the long tenure design - positively not the current priority.

I am happy which the alliance of PAS-PKR-DAP stays intact as well as on-course in the relentless march to Putrajaya.

MeanwhileSin Chew's pretension upon August twenty-eight has kicked up the mini-storm in the Internet.

Mat Sabu denies, butSin Chewpersists

PAS emissary boss Mat Sabu rught away denied which he pronounced PAS would rectify the sovereign constitution to exercise hudud should it come to power.

"I did not contend (we'll bring) hudud (to Parliament)," he toldMalaysiakini.

He combined which great governance as well as amicable justice contingency be practised in Malaysia before implementing the Islamic penal code.

However,Sin Chewon the other palm! additio nally shielded the pretension inform by giving the following method of events by the website upon August twenty-eight (Tuesday):

Stage 1: On Sunday, August 26:

Sin Chew asked Mat Sabu to criticism upon PAS boss Hadi Awang's statement upon Saturday (Aug 25) which PAS would exercise hudud by the democratic process.

Mat Sabu answered: "Democracy is to govern by the list box, as well as change to any routine contingency be done by Parliament, as well as two-thirds await (in Parliament) is indispensable to rectify the constitution."

Based upon the upon top of Mat Sabu answer, Sin Chew's dusk edition pronounced in the pretension story: "Mat Sabu says PAS has decided to propose inherent legislative addition to exercise hudud should the Islamic celebration constraint Putrajaya"
Stage 2: (Monday, August 28)

Upon guidance from an English every day which Mat Sabu had denied observant so,Sin Chewcalled Mat Sabu to clarify further.

sin gnaw clarification upon mat sabu hudud reportMat Sabu reiterated which if any celebration longed for to rectify "any Act", it would need to go by Parliament, as well as which he didn't discuss hudud.

He additionally settled which the celebration had not discussed either to table the motion to rectify the constitution.

However, theSin Chewreporter pressed serve as well as asked: "The 'any Act', does it embody hudud?". Mat Sabu answered: "Yes."

The contributor serve asked: "Can I contend PAS 'memang berhasrat' (intends) to rectify the constitution to exercise any Act, together with hudud, though during the impulse has not discussed the matter of tabling the motion in Parliament?". Mat Sabu answered: "Can."

Stage 3: (Tuesday, August 28)

! Sin Chewsplashed the pretension "PAS will exercise hudud when it rules", observant in the first line: "PAS emissary boss Mat Sabu says PAS intends to seek inherent legislative addition in Parliament in order to exercise hudud, when it rules in the executive government".

The truth


From the upon top of method of events, you can see which Mat Sabu was telling the law when he denied he pronounced PAS would legislative addition the constitution to exercise hudud.

The word 'hudud' was planted in to the review by the reporter, who was intelligent enough to put the questions in such the approach which Mat Sabu could frequency answer in the negative.

In fact, Mat Sabu was usually creation the general acknowledgement when he answered which the inherent legislative addition needs to have two-thirds await in Parliament.

He was positively not privately referring to hudud, so it is not fair to silver the words in such the approach as to execute Mat Sabu as driving the point which PAS will seek parliamentary approval for implementing hudud upon receiving over the sovereign government.

It is strong which Mat Sabu didn't want to give the direct answer. The reasons have been simple.

In the first place, the parliamentary motion from PAS needs to go by the routine of office office building accord inside of Pakatan Rakyat, more so when it is the inherent legislative addition as momentous as the introduction of hudud as well as the conversion of the station quo in to an Islamic state. There is no such accord right away or in the foreseeable future.

Secondly, amicable conditions have been not ripe for doing of hudud as exemplified by the lack of amicable justice as well as great governance in our country, as forked out by Mat Sabu as well as other Islamic scholars.

Thirdly, it is suicidal for PAS to produce home the hudud bulletin during this sensitive choosing time when it says it is still in th! e process! of off! ice offi ce building greater bargain between non-supporters of hudud, who in all likelihood, cardinal the electorate.

So, with all these hurdles station in the way, does it have clarity for PAS to wail the summary which upon reaching Putrajaya, it will exercise hudud - as if this is now the urgent priority?

Headline misleading

Perhaps what causes the furore most is not so much the details inSin Chew's inform as the grossly dubious as well as marvellous pretension of "PAS will exercise hudud when it rules". It clearly gives the impression which hudud is upon the cards, the impulse PAS steps in to Putrajaya.

So, who between the non-Muslims wouldn't be alarmed as well as repelled by such the pretension as well as the leading sentences of the story, when they have all along been assured which PAS will usually pierce by accord inside of Pakatan Rakyat as well as which the latter's budding political design is to improve the people's welfare by replacing the hurtful as well as obsolete Barisan Nasional?

Considering which most readers do not review by all the relevant details or possess the analytical thoughts to sort out the wheat from the chaff, most contingency have already been misled as well as alienated by this marvellous report.

(In all integrity toSin Chew, notwithstanding the dubious headlines as well as the leading story upon August 28, the complete coverage of the subject, particularly the exhaustive coverage swelling over five pages upon the following day, August 29, do enclose enough guileless report for the more discerning reader to form the correct conclusion).

Now which th! e damage ! has been done, it falls upon Pakatan Rakyat as well as democracy activists to diffuse the misperception as well as spread the law which hudud stays the PAS objective, though not an agreed Pakatan Rakyat bulletin when it comes to power. And hence, the opinion for PAS is not the opinion for hudud, though the opinion for great governance.
