KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 19 — PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang has today begun rallying voters to reject DAP and other parties that he labelled as “pro-communist”.
Using the hashtag #TolakDAP, he took to Facebook to justify his call by saying that communism, as a secular concept, rejects religious beliefs, claiming that communists were “worse than Christian and Jewish terrorists”.
“Communists don’t have troops like Western colonisers, but their beliefs colonise the minds of different races to be recruited as part of their army.
“The danger is far greater than the fair-skinned Western colonial armies, because communist beliefs kill ‘aqidah’ in the most extreme way,” the Islamist politician said on Facebook, before adding that any attempt to promote the communist ideology in Malaysia should be forbidden.
Abdul Hadi’s latest diatribe comes after DAP’s Lim Lip Eng challenged him on Sunday to lodge a police report if he stood firm that Pakatan Harapan was promoting communists and anti-monarchists.
Previously, Abdul Hadi found himself in hot water when he claimed non-Muslims and non-Bumiputera were the root of corruption in the country.
