All top three Pakatan Rakyat leaders are trying to avoid directly addressing DAP chairperson Karpal Singh claims that his party would leave the coalition if PAS implements hudud laws.<br /><br />PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang reiterated his position that hudud applies only to Muslims and does not concern the DAP who are largely comprised of non-Muslims.<br /><br />We want Umno to answer, not Karpal. Is Umno prepared? Umno consist of a religious bureau (so they) should answer, said Abdul Hadi.<br /><br />PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim said that PAS does not have an intention to introduce legislations that would affect the rights of non-Muslims and he respected Karpals views.<br /><br />I have discussed the matter with him. I told him that he had every right to express himself but I said that the issue has to be discussed at the correct forum.<br /><br />Unlike the Barisan Nasional tradition, we will allow for issues to be raised, said Anwar, who together with Abdul Hadi held a joint press conference after receiving a memorandum from the Movement Against the Teaching of Science and Mathematics in English (GMP).
