YOURSAY | 'Bankrupt of constructive argument, it even finds fault with colours.'

PAS leader drubs ‘mad’ Amanah for choosing orange like priests

Cogito Ergo Sum: Even the colour of a party is the object of this electoral campaign?

It must be the lack of substance that has forced PAS leader, Kelantan Deputy Menteri Besar Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah, to resort to racism, veiled in orange-coloured lens and doused in green.

Hardboiled: As a Muslim leader, the person is responsible to ensure the supremacy of Islam," said Mohd Amar.

Is this not a my-religion-is-more-superior-than-yours statement? How can a party like this still continue to have supporters is beyond me.

What is he implying? That all must be Muslims, and non-Muslims are inferior?

Whatsup: Bankrupt of constructive argument, now they even find fault with colours. What's next, PAS - sarong, underwear, wives, children? Come on, don't be ridiculous.

Hang Tuah PJ: Mohd Amar, now you have insulted the Hindus and Buddhists. Hello, all Malaysians of Indian descent, it’s time to move out of this country. Every day, ‘kena’ (get) insulted.

Yesterday it was UTM and now this. I have told my children to migrate, even though they are half-Malay.

PAS, why so green with envy?

ACR: 'Jews in Green' is an association of Jewish Army Veterans. Too bad for PAS. Hope the Muslim voters can see through PAS.

Anonymous #59082512: Wow, colour is such an issue now. So PAS, Umno choice of red shows it's communist?

Kok Wee Kiat: If anyone is ‘nanar’ (mad), it is Mohd Amar. What sort of argument is this? He is a disgrace to himself and those he represents.

Chipmunk: Another racial slur against Indians and Hindus. How can PAS rule when they are equal bed-partners with Umno?

Anyway, I believe Mohd Amar has never eaten an orange in his life and is just plain ignorant about the happenings in the world.

Hopeful123: So PAS members don't eat oranges? Oranges are ‘haram’ (forbidden) also? Please make sure the orange colour is taken off colour boxes in Kelantan.

No more amber lights at traffic lights. Change it to purple.

Democrat: Broadcaster Al Jazeera from Qatar uses orange for its strapline on screen. So Qatar is a Hindu nation?

Ghostwhowalks: If you have nothing better to say in politics other than harp on the colour orange, then it's better to keep your mouth shut, so that fewer people will take you for a fool.

Hope: Indeed, PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang and his gang are very desperate.

If these two by-elections show Amanah has more support than PAS, then Hadi and his gang are in big trouble.

Worldly Wise: PAS leader Hadi wears a white turban like a Sikh. Unlike Sikhs, Hadi supports financial mismanagement in 1MDB.

Disgusted: What say MIC, MCA and Gerakan to this? Umno and PAS vying to be more Islamic than each other. DAP has already cut ties with PAS once and for all, but BN is having an affair with PAS.

Rakyat of Kuala Kangsar and Sungai Besar, wise up and give Amanah, the moderate party, and Pakatan Harapan, your votes. Vote with your heads, not with your hearts.

Religion mixed with politics is a lethal concoction.

Ferdtan: PAS has lost its marbles talking about colours. They are so desperate that they are not thinking right. They only know how to condemn Amanah but not Umno, their friend.

They cannot reason and debate on policies and problems facing the country. They used unfair means like putting words into the Almighty's mouth.

Anonymous #19098644: The mullahs have run out of reasons and issues so that they are forced to harp on nonsensical issues like colours of the opposing parties.

Instead of attacking a corrupt, decadent regime, they have chosen to show their friendship to the regime by attacking its strongest foes.

Instead of promoting Islam as a religion for all, their role now is to advise the corrupted regime. Sad day for Islam, the community and the country.

Anonymous_1390303981: It's not what you wear, it's what's in your heart that matters.

Maybe it's easier to blame God for creating people who choose orange or even green for that matter.

Keturunan Malaysia: Indeed, colours from the outside count for nothing, whether the person is good, bad or ugly.

It is the 'colour' inside that counts and counts most. Stupid is as stupid does.
