DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang said it is not part of  Pakatan’s policy to organise moral policing as stated by PAS Youth chief Nasrudin Hasan yesterday.

Kit Siang tweeted today that “moral policing on Valentine’s Day or any other day is not Pakatan policy” as had been suggested by Nasrudin.

Nasrudin said authorities would take action against those caught in the dragnet under Islamic laws.

Meanwhile, DAP Youth chief Anthony Loke Siew Fook stated firmly that the movement is not on the same boat with PAS Youth’s approach to Valentine’s Day.

"With reference to Pakatan states plan Valentine’s Day crackdown , I want to stress that DAP and Dapsy do not agree with the approach taken by PAS Youth to act as 'moral police' to check on couples on Valentine’s Day.

"It is beyond the powers of PAS Youth members to carry out such enforcement," Loke said in a statement today.

Selangor state legislative assembly speaker Teng Chang Khim tweeted that the PAS Youth chief should “keep your big mouth shut!”

NONE MCA Youth chief Wee Ka Siong ( left ) said Nasrudin has again shown that Pakatan lacks consensus in administration.

"Moral policing on Valentine’s Day is an early sign of Pakatan’s implementation of Islamic state policies in the civil sphere," Wee said in a statement today.

Wee adeed that whenever PAS shouts that the Islamic state is no longer an issue, it is actually working quietly to achieve its ultimate goal, which is to form an Islamic state.

'Explain jurisdiction of PAS Youth'

He also challenged Nasrudin to explain what is the jurisdiction of the PAS Youth wing and whether the state governments will allow PAS Youth to identify places where couples frequently visit and to arrange with the local government officers and Pas members to carry out moral policing.

“Although PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang had said during the Tenang by-election that the Islamic state is already an old issue, we know that it was just a tactic to cheat voters as incidents have proven that Pakatan is implementing Islamic policies in the states they govern and this latest incident is one of the various examples,” he said, adding that it is shameful and sad that PAS has failed to walk the talk .

Kedah Gerakan Youth chief Tan Keng Liang in a statement urged PAS to mind their own business.

“I regret the statement by the PAS Youth chief that implied Valentine’s Day would be filled with sinful activities and immoral acts.

“This is clearly a blatant insult to those who celebrate Valentine’s Day in Malaysia and it would indirectly cast doubt over the morality of all those who will celebrate Valentine’s Day,” he said.

Malaysia, a multiracial and religion country, has long been a moderate country and free of extremism, he said.

“I would advice PAS, in particular their youth section, to “mind their own business” during the celebration of Valentine’s Day,” he added.
