KUALA LUMPUR, March 24 — DAP today pilloried PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang for his party’s hudud push, saying it will no longer work with him even as it vowed to remain in the Pakatan Rakyat pact.

The DAP’s central executive committee that met last night accused Hadi of cooperating with Umno on hudud, in violation of the pact’s common consensus and Common Policy Framework.

“DAP is unable to work with a PAS President like Hadi Awang who persists in such dishonest and dishonourable acts,” DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said in a statement today.

“The DAP has lost trust and confidence in Hadi as a Pakatan Rakyat leader and will end ties and cease to work with him.

“As Hadi is the PAS leader in PR, DAP’s decision to end all ties with Hadi will effectively put the Majlis Pimpinan or the Pakatan Rakyat Leadership Council in limbo.”

The decision will prevent the PR presidential council from carrying out any policy decisions as consensus agreement is required, but will leave the state administrations of Selangor and Penang undisturbed.

Aside from the current hudud controversy, DAP further accused Hadi of betraying PR during last year’s Selangor mentri besar crisis, when the PAS leader unilaterally nominated candidates other than PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

It also accused Hadi of failing to honour his own pledge made in February that PAS’s amendments to Kelantan’s Shariah Criminal Code Enactment II 1993 will be made available for discussions by the PR leadership.

DAP last week said it would review its position in PR after accusing PAS of “backstabbing” the party with its hudud ambitions, prompting speculation that the secular party may exit the pact.

The party today said PAS’s attempt to enforce hudud in Kelantan is unconstitutional and a betrayal of the voters who supported PR in Election 2013 when hudud was not mentioned in the pact’s manifestos.

“Therefore, all 37 DAP MPs will oppose the Private Member’s Bill on hudud submitted by PAS President Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang,” Lim said.

The third partner in the pact, PKR, previously declared that its lawmakers will similarly not vote for Hadi’s Bills.

On March 19, PAS-ruled Kelantan passed key amendments to its Shariah Criminal Code II 1993 in a move to enable the eventual implementation of hudud in the Malay-majority east coast state.

Hadi last week served notice to Parliament on the proposed Bill but BN’s law minister Datuk Nancy Shukri said it may not make it into the order paper for the current session as there are many others on the schedule.

With DAP and PKR’s rejection, PAS and its 21 MPs in the lower House must rely on all of Umno’s MPs plus more from other non-Muslim parties in order to get a simple majority of 112 votes to get the Bill passed.
