‘Umno more complicit on hudud than DAP’

DAP national vice-chair M Kulasegaran contended that Umno was more complicit on hudud than that DAP’s dalliance with PAS had encouraged the latter’s obduracy on the Islamic penal code.

The Ipoh Barat MP said this in rebutting MIC president S Subramaniam’s argument that DAP could not absolve itself of responsibility for the tabling of PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang’s bill on hudud in Parliament on May 26.

Subramaniam had deployed this argument while campaigning in the Kuala Kangsar and Sungai Besar by-elections, where he said that DAP had all along known of PAS’s true nature and chose to be irresponsibly negligent on the threat.
