PETALING JAYA: Deputy National Unity Minister Yuneswaran Ramaraj has strongly condemned PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang over remarks suggesting that non-Muslims are more oppressive than even the worst Muslim leaders, and called on him to retract them.
In a statement today, Yuneswaran took issue with a speech Hadi delivered at a Malacca state election campaign ceramah in Bukit Katil last night, in which the PAS leader was quoted as saying that even the worst Muslims ruling the country were not as oppressive as non-Muslims.
Yuneswaran said he viewed the remark seriously, particularly as it came from a senior politician and Member of Parliament who should understand the sensitivities of Malaysia’s multi-religious and multiracial society.
