The DAP CEC on 23rd March 2015 unanimously resolved
- DAP reaffirms our commitment to Pakatan Rakyat as the governing coalition that embodies the aspirations of all Malaysians, regardless of race, religion and creed, who aspires to build a new Malaysia based on the fundamental values of freedom, justice, democracy, integrity and human dignity. The DAP also reiterates that the Pakatan Rakyat coalition parties must adhere to the spirit of the Common Policy Framework operating through the spirit of consensus centred on trust and mutual respect in the Majlis Pimpinan PR (PR Leadership Council).
- DAP opposes the implementation of hudud laws because it is unconstitutional. Furthermore, Malaysians who supported PAS in the last General Election did not vote for the implementation of hudud but for the Common Policy Framework. Therefore, all 37 DAP MPs will oppose the Private Member’s Bill on hudud submitted by PAS President Dato’ Seri Abdul Hadi Awang.
- DAP deplores the dishonest and dishonourable acts of PAS President Dato Seri Tuan Guru Abdul Hadi Awang of co-operating with UMNO to violate this spirit of consensus as well as the Common Policy Framework that has jeopardised Pakatan Rakyat such as:-
- Hadi’s betrayal of the collective decision made by the Majlis Pimpinan Pakatan Rakyat on the nomination of Datuk Seri Wan Azizah Wan Ismail as Pakatan Rakyat’s sole candidate for the position of Menteri Besar of Selangor, which resulted in a full blown and protracted crisis that threatened to bring down the Pakatan’s Selangor Government;
- Hadi’s failure to honour his own words during the Majlis Pimpinan PR on 8 February 2015 that the Enakmen Kanun Jenayah Syariah II Kelantan 2015 would be discussed at future Majlis Pimpinan Pakatan Rakyat meetings;
- Hadi’s submission of Private Member’s Bill on 18th March 2015 without presenting it to the PAS Central Committee and Majlis Pimpinan Pakatan Rakyat.
- DAP is unable to work with a PAS President like Hadi Awang who persists in such dishonest and dishonourable acts. The DAP has lost trust and confidence in Hadi as a Pakatan Rakyat leader and will end ties and cease to work with him. As Hadi is the PAS leader in PR, DAP’s decision to end all ties with Hadi will effectively put the Majlis Pimpinan or the Pakatan Rakyat Leadership Council in limbo. DAP will meet the PKR leadership to discuss the future course of Pakatan Rakyat.
- UMNO has instigated PAS to implement hudud laws in Kelantan on 27 March 2014 in Parliament by promising Federal Government support. DAP urges the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak not to make any further delays in making a clear and unequivocal stand on whether to oppose or support the hudud enactment in Kelantan, as well as clarify the role of UMNO Kelantan State Assemblymen in supporting the hudud bill. Najib must also declare whether he supports the Private Member’s Bill tabled by Hadi.
