Deputy Agriculture Minister Chua Tee Yong dismissed an Umno proposal to implement hudud law in Johor for all races, as it was only made by a state assemblyperson.

"I don't place any weight on his statement as he is just an Umno state assemblyman, I only take weight on statements from people like (PAS president) Hadi Awang and (PAS spiritual leader) Nik Aziz," said the MCA MP for Labis in a press conference today.

NONE Chua was responding to Umno's Kemelah assemblyperson Ayub Rahmat's (left) proposal in June 20 to implement the hudud law in Johor for all races.

Chua also made it clear that MCA will leave the BN coalition if hudud is implemented.

The Labis MP said that it is DAP who should make clear their stand as the hudud proposal comes from senior leaders in their partner party, PAS.

“Nik Aziz and Hadi Awang have mentioned on numerous occasions that they will implement Hudud but DAP is still working closely with PAS,” said Chua.

“Plus, this is not from PAS Youth, but this is from their president and spiritual leader,” he added.

Chua also questioned DAP’s stand on PAS over their decision to appoint a Malay Muslim to be the premier if the opposition pact won the 13th general election.

“What is DAP’s stand on this? They only talk about Anwar, and PAS answered that they have the qualification.

“They are only helping PAS to realise their dreams. Therefore, one vote for DAP also equals to a vote for PAS.”
