Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang says his party will go ahead with the proposal to amend the Syariah Criminal Code II 1993, to pave the way for hudud laws in Kelantan. – The Malaysian Insider pic, February 14, 2015.PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang has pledged to press ahead with the implementation of hudud in Kelantan, saying it was to continue the struggle of its late spiritual leader Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat who died on Thursday.
Hadi said the party would go ahead with the proposal to amend the Syariah Criminal Code II 1993 to enable hudud to be enforced in the PAS-ruled east coast state.
"His passing left us a solid foundation and his service must be emulated by the Muslim generation of today.
"Among them is implementing the Shariah enactment in Kelantan, a task and legacy entrusted to us to follow through," he said in a Facebook posting last night, rejecting its Pakatan Rakyat ally DAP's call for the Islamic law to be deferred to 2023.
Hadi described Nik Aziz as a leader, teacher, father and friend "who embraced Allah and enslaved himself to continue the work of Prophet Muhammad and the other prophets to uphold the religion".
"The world and people of this age have witnessed how Nik Aziz put Kelantan, 'Serambi Makkah' (Veranda of Mecca) on the world map through his tireless efforts to lift and preserve the dignity of Islam in the state.
"He was also a statesman who made history to fight together with PAS to create within this nation a society and administration based on the values of Islam and its laws, as stated in our party constitution," he said.
Hadi's statement may not go down well with DAP, which has never supported PAS's hudud agenda.
Hadi and top DAP leaders have in recent weeks engaged in an open spat in the media after he claimed that the local government elections championed by DAP could cause racial polarisation and spark another May 13 racial riot.
On Thursday, DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang proposed that local government elections and hudud should be deferred until 2023 in order to prevent PR from splitting up ahead of the 14th general election.
"I suggest that we put the issues we cannot agree about for another eight years.
"Regardless whether the issues are raised by PAS, DAP or PKR, we should defer them if we cannot reach an agreement," Lim said. – February 14, 2015.
