The political relationship between DAP and PAS seems became very tense after the DAP national chairman Karpal Singh issued the statement that he will sue Nasharudin Mat Isa for defamation.
Ironically, the opposition
wants to create a feel-good factor among their coalition and hope that it will
translate into votes in coming general election. The latest political development,
however, appears to be otherwise and it will certainly make the road to
Putrajaya more difficult.
Karpal
Singh said today he will sue Nasharudin Mat Isa for defamation after the
renegade former PAS No. 2 appeared this week to side with Umno by pressing his
party to leave Pakatan Rakyat (PR) and accusing the DAP leader of being against
Islam.
It was reported that the DAP national chairman said the former PAS deputy president’s remarks
about him yesterday “are highly irresponsible and mischievous”, and that “I
have never spoken against Islam”.
However, he stressed that hudud law cannot be
implemented in the country as “hudud can only be applied in an Islamic state”
while Malaysia remained a secular country.
“Time and time again I have said I respect Islam as the official
religion of the country,” Karpal said.
“What DAP have been saying is we are not for an Islamic state. That is
just a political concept,” he added.
