KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 6 ― Certain factions within PAS are attempting to sabotage the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) alliance with their persistent refusal to provide a preview of Kelantan’s hudud proposal to its DAP and PKR allies at the Sunday leadership meeting, Anthony Loke said today.

The DAP national organising secretary stressed that this Sunday's PR presidential council meeting would be a good time for PAS to explain its amendments to Kelantan’s hudud law and the private member's bills on the same issue that it will table in Parliament.

“This is a clear attempt, a clear agenda to destabilise Pakatan by certain quarters within PAS.

“Our position remains clear. Hudud is not part of Pakatan's agenda and any attempts to introduce it will be to oppose that agenda,” Loke told Malay Mail Online when contacted.

Kelantan Mentri Besar Datuk Ahmad Yaakob said PKR and DAP will eventually get to view the documents on the proposed amendments to the Syariah Criminal Code II Enactment 1993, but not before these are approved in the state assembly sitting this coming March.

“The flood situation is still very bad in Kelantan, so much work, construction has yet to be done, people's home have been ravaged and yet they are still pushing for this?

“This (hudud bill) will most definitely be raised during this Sunday's meeting. I will be there,” Loke added.

Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who heads the three-party coalition has demanded that PAS explain its latest plan to implement hudud law in Kelantan, saying that the best time to do so would be during the PR presidential council meeting this Sunday.

Anwar said PKR and DAP have not even seen either the private member’s bill or the amendments to the Syariah Criminal Code II 1993, which was passed by the Kelantan state assembly over 20 years ago.

Ahmad said, however, that the Kelantan enactment will not be fundamentally changed and will remain intact bar minor updates.

The amendments, if passed by the Kelantan government at its state assembly meeting on March 16, will be inserted into two private member's bills to be tabled in Parliament at the same time.

On Wednesday, national news wire Bernama reported Kelantan deputy mentri besar Datuk Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah as saying the state intends to table a private member’s bill at the next parliamentary meeting in March to allow hudud to be enforced there.

According to Mohd Amar, among the changes sought through the bills are the raising of penalties for offences in line with Quranic rules and the Sunnah or the way of the Prophet.

DAP and PAS have been butting heads over the Islamist party's plans to enforce hudud in Kelantan and more recently DAP’s proposal for PR to adopt Penang’s approach and enact state laws in Selangor and Kelantan to try to return the third vote to Malaysians.

PAS, however, accused DAP of acting unilaterally in seeking to restore local council elections, in apparent retaliation the latter’s vehement attacks over the Islamist party’s hudud ambition.
