Lim Guan Eng says PAS has not been getting non-Malay and non-Muslim support despite its claims to the contrary. – The Malaysian Insight pic by Afif Abd Halim, March 10, 2019.

NON-Malays and non-Muslims don’t want the federal government to be governed like Kelantan and Terengganu as there is minimal participation from other races, said Lim Guan Eng.

“The non-Malay-Muslims in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak feel threatened that they are made scapegoats by PAS and Umno for the problems in the country. 

“Where it is permissible to lie and where corruption scandals by Muslim leaders are secondary to a non-Muslim, even though the non-Muslim is honest and competent,” the DAP secretary-general said in a statement today.

He said as much as PAS claims it has non-Muslim support from one of its wings, Dewan Himpunan Penyokong PAS, and through MCA and MIC, these group have received little support from non-Muslims

“PAS should know that both parties (MCA and MIC) received little or no support from non-Malays and are viewed as little puppets of Umno,” said Lim, who has been locked in a battle of words with the opposition since Umno decided to partner PAS.

The Finance Minister also asked if PAS was willing to apologise for saying that non-Malays and non-Muslims should not be appointed ministers or that non-Muslim now controlled the government.

“If PAS is not willing to apologise, how can it blame others from feeling threatened as their fundamental rights are now being questioned,” said Lim.

Lim cited PAS-Umno’s questioning of the funding given to vernacular schools.

“DAP congratulates PAS for successfully recruiting MCA and MIC to support its extremist positions.

“For this reason, the PAS Youth president has openly praised MCA as better than DAP, even though MCA openly questioned my approval for the funding of sekolah agama rakyat and sekolah tahfiz,” he said.

He said PAS used to be a moderate party under former spiritual leader Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, but had become more extreme now.  – March 10, 2019.

  • Please get PKR, Bersatu and Amanah to respond to PAS-UMNO attacks. If they don't respond, the PH spirit is as good as dead.

  • What is the PH government doing to clip the wings of the racists who can go about insulting the non-Muslims without having to face the law? Why is Zakir Naik being allowed to roam the country spewing hatred of religions other than Islam? He is poisoning peoples minds the results of which do not appear immediately - like cancer. The signs appear when the cancer is stage 3 or 4, and by that time it is rather late.

    • Then you should queue up to smell PAS pis pas ass rather then wasting our space and time writing unintelligent comments. They need more moronic guys like you as very few are available as most have got smarter while you are still languishing with the arse smell.

  • Non Muslims will be better protected under Muslims leaders.

    Posted 5 years ago by It's me GR · Reply

    • On the contrary, history has proven that both Muslims and non-Muslims are better protected in a secular state.

      And that all parties are significantly worse off in an Islamic State.

  • I support LGE's statement. I do not want Malaysia to be run like Kelantan or Trengganu. I've been to these places.

  • If Kelantan and Trengganu is better managed than any other state, we will all go for it. The truth is the situation there is the opposite. So, not only the nons don't want PAS, the other well informed will also not choose PAS.
