PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang and DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng found themselves in an awkward position in Kuala Terengganu today when they were grilled by reporters over the hudud controversy. Initially, the press conference began with all top three Pakatan Rakyat leaders, including PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Ismail, pledging to work together to ensure victory for PAS candidate Abdul Wahid Endut in the Jan 17 Kuala Terengganu by-election. All three leaders appeared jovial during their opening speeches but the atmosphere changed as soon as they began to field questions. Hadi said that hudud laws were not an issue in this by-election because it had already been gazetted in Terengganu when PAS held power between 1999 to 2004...Lim then replied that DAP respects the opinion of its coalition partners but Pakatan Rakyat cannot make decisions as a federal government unilaterally. "If any problems occur, we will resolve it through musyawarah, that is through discussions. All three parties must hold discussions and if a consensus is not reached, it must be discussed again. (Source: Mkini) Hudud or not, I trust Pakatan Rakyat will preserve justice for all races and religions, democracy and Islam as the official religion.
