SO, we now know that PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang believes that only Muslims can be in the Cabinet in any Muslim country, and that those of other faiths can play only supporting roles.

We also know how to deal with bigots, racists and those who have disdain for those who don’t share their beliefs or skin colour.

We simply reject them. We don’t debate with them. We don’t tolerate them. We don’t make excuses for them.

We just reject the likes of Hadi who believe that non-Muslims must be relegated to second-class status in this country of their birth.

Next question: how do Malaysians treat collaborators of Hadi? And here, we are referring to politicians who have embraced Hadi and his worldview.

The PAS president’s collaborators include his party men, and those friendly to the party, such as Prime Minister Najib Razak and a few Umno politicians.

Should we treat them with the same opprobrium with which we treat Hadi? Should we assign Hadi’s blinkered and bigoted views on politics to them?

So, should we be concerned that Hadi’s views will be embraced by the next Umno government, given that he and his party are being touted as Najib’s trump card in the next general election?

If Najib and his ilk do not slam Hadi and distance themselves from racist views, can we take it that they also think like him? Thus far, only MIC, MCA and Gerakan have come out to criticise Hadi, but not anyone from Umno.

Over the past 12 months, Najib and Hadi have become close friends. In the next election, Najib’s Umno and Hadi’s PAS will team up unofficially.

We know who Hadi is and what he stands for.

Question: how should we deal with the PAS president’s collaborators? – December 26, 2017.

  • Every voter for Hadi's PAS is a hard core racist and hater by choice.

  • TMI --- you are giving too much prominence to Hadi. Stop blaring the news about his plan and strategies for the all Malay Muslim cabinets. It is impossible to realize and everyone in Malaysia knows that. Najib will not even bother to rebuke Hadi as they are in cohorts on the posturing. Get your journalist to write and dig up more of Hadi past deeds and sing loudly his failure in his administration in Trengganu and the Kelantan floods woes which are still plaguing the folks down there. do lots of interview on that. Get some sense of sensibility in the directions of political game. If TMI needs to harp on this isssues , play this story up with the East Malaysia Block and you will see Najib doing all the appologies to appease his fix deposits. Come on lah guys in TMI be more astute .

  • Some Stupid Questions:

    1.What is the past merit of 'a muslim only cabinet'?

    2.Is there a superlative value proposition for 'Muslim Only Cabinet'?

    3. What's in the progress report/ report card of a Muslim leadership of Malaysia?

    Conclusion: Is there strong evidence to support a theocratic-style governance; that it is superior over the secular type?
