PAS showing true colors again.. PAS should realize that they would not be stronger without non-Malays votes in the past election! Malaysians do not want racial based parties. We want "Pakatan Rakyat" that would help all its citizens! They did not learn lesson from old story when PAS was kick out by BN in the 70's. PAS actions no difference with a wife whom has secret relationship other than own husband!! Be honest and truthful to the voters whose are supporting you to bring true democracy which will help all level citizens. PAS would disappeared in the next election if they merge with BN. We want Bangsa Malaysia!!

Nik Aziz wants hudud, MCA flabbergasted
Jul 30, 08 7:59pm
PAS spiritual leader Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat has thrown a spanner in the works on the PAS-Umno talks by suggesting that the Islamic hudud criminal law be the platform of a future union of the two rival parties.
Not surprisingly, MCA - the second largest party in the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition - is flabbergasted by the proposal.
"I am disappointed and gravely concerned with Nik Aziz's statement to implement hudud and qisas laws as it would mean the creation of a theocratic Islamic state,” MCA Youth secretary-general Wee Ka Siong.
“I urge Umno to object against PAS' proposal as it is a matter of principle," added Wee, who is vying for the Chinese-based party’s vice-president post in the upcoming polls in October.
Proposal ‘totally unacceptable’
The deputy education minister has described Nik Aziz’s idea as "totally unacceptable by MCA".
Nik Aziz, who had previously opposed talks with its ideological rival, said that his party would propose the implementation of hudud and qisas laws should the PAS-Umno merger becomes a reality.
Under Islam, crimes classified under hudud such as murder, theft and adultery carry severe punishment including the amputation of limbs and stoning to death.
Meanwhile, qisas (law of retaliation) allows for, among others, compensation in the form of money or property if the heirs of the victim forgive the murderer.
