Sabah PH chairman Mustapha Sakmud urges parties not to exploit religious sentiment as a political weapon, after remarks allegedly likening the CSA to “Dajjal.”
KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Pakatan Harapan chairman Datuk Mustapha Sakmud has reminded political parties not to exploit religious sentiment as a weapon to challenge opponents’ strategies, following remarks linking parliamentary democracy as an institution to an end-times figure.
The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Sabah and Sarawak Affairs) expressed regret over a statement by PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang, who was alleged to have likened the Confidence and Supply Agreement (CSA) approach to “Dajjal” (literally the Deceitful Messiah), stressing that such a label was highly unfamiliar and could confuse Muslims in Sabah.
