BATU PAHAT - PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang again defended his decision to reject Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail’s Selangor mentri besar candidacy, saying he was afraid his endorsement would drag the rest of his party members to hell in the afterlife.
Abdul Hadi, who was speaking at the conclusion of PAS’s annual congress here, explained that he had decided to submit his own set of MB candidates to the Selangor Sultan in deference of the Islamic moral code and out of respect for the state ruler.
“We elect a leader for his inclination, not just his qualifications. Electing leader is a trust, you don’t just elect him easily,” the chief of the Islamist party said.
“I might be dragged to hell. I am not ready to drag all of you to hell. That is why we had to interfere.”
Abdul Hadi said PAS could not keep silent on the matter as it has to seek the blessing of God, especially when the Selangor ruler is a defender of Malay rights and the Islamic faith. -Malay Mail
