PAS President Seeks TV Air Time To Explain Amanat Haji Hadi


MARANG, Dec 29 (Bernama) -- PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang said Saturday he is prepared to explain the "Amanat Haji Hadi" (Haji Hadi's Message) of 1981 if he is given the opportunity to do so live over a local television station.

He said he would explain everything associated with his message, which had branded Umno members and supporters as infidels, so that the people could make their evaluation.

He was also prepared to provide a written explanation of his stand on the message delivered more than 30 years ago, he told reporters after officiating at the appointment of workers for the 13th general election at Dewan Tok Guru in Rusila, near here.

The "Amanat Haji Hadi" had drawn objections from various quarters, including former PAS members, who called on Abdul Hadi to withdraw it for the sake of the unity of the Malays and Muslims.

Abdul Hadi dismissed claims that he had remained silent because he was afraid, but said he would only state his stand of whether to defend or withdraw the message if he was allowed to go on air.
