DAP is caught in the same unresolved dilemma as whether continue to support PAS as DAP has persistently disagreed with the institution of a Islamic state.
Islamic party PAS came under more fire following its determination to implement the hudud laws, an aspiration which was recently reignited by its vice-president Husam Musa.

Surprisingly, DAP has pledged its support to PAS’ candidate in the upcoming Kuala Terengganu by-election, despite conflicting views on the Islamic state issue and hudud laws.
DAP's national chairperson Karpal Singh said DAP will continue to support PAS, especially by campaigning for the party in Kuala Terengganu.
He, however, cautioned that recent upheavals coalition have affected DAP's enthusiasm.
"PAS should refrain from rocking the boat after the March 8 tsunami. It is quite obvious that the public want an alternative and we can attain that alternative in the next election. I think PAS should hold its peace," said Karpal.
The opposition stalwart was referring to the furor over PAS vice-president Husam Musa’s comments about hudud laws in a public debate in Kota Bharu recently. He had said that PAS would have implemented the Islamic law had Pakatan Rakyat taken over the federal government on Sept 16.
Husam had made the statement in reply to Umno Youth chief aspirant Khairy Jamaluddin's challenge to state PAS' plans were it to take over the federal government.
