Pray until his stomach bursts
The PAS spiritual leader Nik Aziz was also reported to have described the rejection of oil royalty payments to the Kelantan government as "a violation of basic human rights".
He proclaimed: "As long as they do not give the oil royalty, we will pray until that person's stomach bursts.”
Nik Aziz explained his call for prayers in seeking divine intervention was in response to the federal government's action of not handing over oil royalty payments to Kelantan, which has been under PAS rule since 1990.
Undeniably, the role of a spiritual leaders plays in the political decision-making process in PAS is not only vital but act as a powerful element. It was claimed that the spiritual leader sees himself as guardian of the legacy.
The call for prayers until that person's stomach bursts come as a shock to the politicians and general populace especially non-Muslim in this country.
In reaction to what non-PAS believers and supporters considered Islam's degeneration; Niz Aziz is lambasted for using religious practice to demand oil royalty. The act has been perceived as an unbecoming his stature as an Islamic spiritual leader.
Information Communication and Culture Minister Dr Rais Yatim said, "This is not the work of a religious man, not the work of a spiritual adviser, this is vilification."
He said the PAS spiritual leader's opinions were no longer acceptable although he was a knowledgeable and elderly person.
