PAS President Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang claims that the former PAS Mursyidul Am, the late Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, had noticed before his passing that there were “problems” with DAP.
Hadi has joined the ranks of those who manufacture lies, fake news and false information when he claimed that the DAP had become arrogant because it had won more seats in 2013, “always fanning racial sentiments” which “led to racial tensions”.
Like UMNO/BN propagandists and cybertroopers, Hadi would not be able to cite a single instance to substantiate his lies, fake news and false information.
He has even swallowed hook, line and sinker the UMNO/BN propaganda that DAP was pulling Pakatan Harapan chairman Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad’s strings.
Will Hadi next say that Nik Aziz had endorsed Hadi’s support for “MO1” and Malaysia becoming a “global kleptocracy?
Hadi’s argument that DAP became more arrogant because the DAP won more seats in 2013 does not stand up to scrutiny as this was also the case in the 2008 general election.
Clearly, it rankled Hadi that DAP won more seats than PAS in both the 12th and 13th General Election.
In the 2008 General Election, DAP won 28 seats and PAS won 23. In the 13th General Election, DAP won 38 MPs while PAS won 21.
The real problem, however, is not over the number of seats, but DAP’s refusal to support Hadi as Prime Minister-designate.
On the eve of the 13th General Election, Hadi approached the DAP and wanted support for the proposal to replace Anwar Ibrahim with Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah as Pakatan Rakyat Prime Minister-designate, and he was very disappointed when DAP did not agree as it would be contrary to the DAP commitment that Anwar Ibrahim would be the Prime Minister under a Pakatan Rakyat Federal Government.
Hadi had hoped that the DAP would support Hadi himself as the Pakatan Rakyat Prime Minister-designate, as PAS had not agreed to Anwar as Prime Minister-designate and PAS could not secure DAP’s agreement for Tengku Razaleigh as the Pakatan Rakyat Prime Minister-designate.
This was probably the beginning of Hadi’s decision to scuttle and destroy Pakatan Rakyat, which he succeeded in doing after the 13th General Election.
And now Hadi has joined the ranks of those who concoct and disseminate lies, fake news and false information!
