The MCA president said there was nothing wrong with Wanita vice-chairman Heng Seai Kie's interpretation of Nik Aziz's statement.
KUALA LUMPUR: MCA president Dr Chua Soi Lek agrees with Wanita vice-chairman Heng Seai Kie for saying that PAS condones the raping of non-Muslim women who do not conform with the Islamic dress code.
Earlier today, Heng produced a video showing PAS spiritual leader Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat giving a speech four years ago in which he said that women who do not protect their modesty deserved to be raped.
She said that Nik Aziz was instigating the Muslims to rape non-Muslim women.
When asked to comment on Heng’s statement, Chua said there is nothing wrong for Heng to interpret Nik Aziz’s statement that way because rapists do not choose their victims.
“When a Muslim rapist wants to rape, it doesn’t mean he must rape a Muslim. He can choose anybody.
“You cannot say I am not a Muslim, please don’t rape me,” he said at a press conference after chairing a delegates’ briefing session this afternoon.
Earlier today, Heng urged MCA Wanita members at the party’s AGM to go all out to stop Pakatan from taking power, or risk seeing the implementation of hudud law.
MCA Wanita chairman Yu Chok Tow also raised the possibility that all Muslim MPs, including those from Umno, would support PAS’ hudud proposal should Pakatan win the next general election.
“Due to religious concerns, Umno and PKR Muslim parliamentarians will have no choice but support a [hudud] bill…” she said.
On a separate issue, Chua said that Pakatan Rakyat’s proposed floor wage of RM1,100 would incur RM10 billion to RM12 billion extra costs to employers a year.
He said the proposal would put 1.2 million people out of job and cause unemployment rate to increase.
