PETALING JAYA: An amused PAS information chief, Idris Ahmad, thinks former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad’s allegations that PAS spiritual adviser, Nik Aziz Nik Mat, was “working with the devil” “hilarious”.“Mahathir’s statement is hilarious. Which political party campaigns to lose elections?” he said, referring to Mahathir’s accusation that Nik Aziz’s ultimate goal was not Islam but to rule Malaysia.
Mahathir had a few days ago reportedly said: “Whatever that rolls out of Nik Aziz’s mouth is to win elections and to become the joint ruler of this country with DAP and PKR.”
Rebutting his accusation, Nik Aziz told Mahathir that DAP was much more open to Islam now as a result of PAS collaboration via Pakatan Rakyat.
Said Idris: “When Mahathir led Umno, they broke all the laws and molested democracy for the sake of winning elections.”
PAS, on the other hand, he said, wins elections so that Islam is appreciated by all.
“Umno uses Islam as the means, not the goal,” he added.
Idris also took Mahathir to task over MCA’s campaign in Tenang where MCA campaigned on PAS candidate Normala Sudirman’s refusal to shake hands with men.
“MCA is allied to Umno for 53 years yet it has failed to understand the handshake rules between a man and a woman.”
“This is because leaders such as Mahathir failed to portray the character of a true Muslim.”
