| We are ready to accept a non muslim VP in PAS - Dzul |
I
read with surprise the announcement by Dr. Dzulkefly Ahmad that PAS is ready to
accept a Non-Muslim as its deputy president. This in itself shows PAS’s
hypocrisy as during the early 1990s UMNO was accused of being “kafirs” for
working together with MCA and MIC etc to run the government. However, I am not
going to visit that as we all know that PAS’s main objective now is to capture
Putrajaya together with is partners in PR i.e. DAP and PKR. Nevertheless, what
I would like to highlight here are some questions that I think is worth discussing.
Official stand
The
main question to ask now is, is Dr. Dzulkefly announcement yesterday is the
official stand of PAS or was just a personal view? It has to be understood that
PAS has its own Syura Council and its central working committee members. Were
these committees consulted prior to the announcement by Dr. Dzulkefly?
Non-Muslim VP just a drama to get votes?
PAS
is the only party in this country that has a religion to its name i.e.
ISLAM. Say if now the position of VP is
given to a Non-Muslim, what will be his roles and responsibilities? Would it be
the same as what current VP’s are doing?
To
answer this question, look back at how does this Non-Muslim VP can get elected
into that position in the first place. As we know, PAS supporters club does not
have the right to vote in the PAS party elections, therefore how do you expect
a Non-Muslim to become a VP in PAS? Votes from the Ustaz and Ustazah? Again
back to my 1st question, does the party endorses the view of Dr.
Dzulkefly?
Elegant Silence
Its
almost 24 hours now and no official statement has been forthcoming from PAS
central committee of even TG Nik Aziz. Therefore my only assumption is that the
statement by Dr. Dzulkefly was just to please the Non-Muslim voters to support
PAS in the next general elections. This is evident as PAS has been losing a
substantial amount of Malay votes (loses in by elections in Malay majority
seats and exposes by Hassan Ali).
Well
let’s just wait and see what PAS comes out next with. Maybe Kit Siang as their President?
