Chang Lih Kang, Fuziah Salleh, Kamil Munim.PETALING JAYA: Three PKR leaders have put PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang under more pressure for comparing Muslim and non-Muslim leaders in government, warning that religious sentiments should not be used to divide Malaysians for political gain.
PKR vice-president Chang Lih Kang said political differences should be debated based on policies and solutions to the people's problems, instead of religious sentiments.
He described Hadi's remarks as deeply disappointing, saying statements that hurt religious sensitivities and fuel tensions would only harm the country, Bernama reported.
Hadi had been quoted in media reports as saying last night at a Melaka campaign rally that “even the most wicked Muslim who governs the country is not as tyrannical as a non-Muslim”. He had urged Muslims to fulfil their duty to vote; if they did not turn up, “others” would govern and act according to their own interests.
