Hadi Non Muslims Will Rule If Malays Have Low Political Awareness

PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang has warned that Malaysia could be controlled by non-Muslims if Malays have low political awareness.
Speaking at a forum in Kuala Lumpur last night, Hadi claimed that Perikatan Nasional enjoyed the support of the Malays but Pakatan Harapan was now in government because it enjoyed non-Muslim support.
"(After the elections) I met Dr Mahathir (Mohamad). Although we are seen to be enemies, behind closed doors we can talk.
"He invited me to his house. He was very worried because of the election (GE15). Although PN succeeded in winning the Malay and Muslim votes, Harapan (formed the government) by winning the non-Muslim vote.
"Non-Muslim turnout was 98 percent while Muslim turnout was only 68 percent. This is worrying," said Hadi.
PAS president Abdul Hadi AwangHadi has been sharing his "low Malay turnout" theory since last December. At the time, he claimed that Malay turnout was "around 60 percent".
The actual overall turnout for the election was 74.04 percent - a remarkable feat considering that the voter list had increased by 41.72 percent since the 2018 general election.
Researcher Bridget Welsh has disputed Hadi's numbers and instead posited that Malays had the best turnout at 79 percent.
Welsh also claimed that her research showed that only 54 percent of Malay voters voted for PN.
‘Very dangerous’
Meanwhile, Hadi said Malays must appreciate the importance of voting and elections.
"Some people see going on the umrah as more important than voting. If that is the case, we will be controlled by others in the future.
"If only 68 percent (of Muslims) vote, while 98 percent of non-Muslims do the same, it is very dangerous.
"Praise be to God that in Parliament, Muslims make up 160 members - more than two-thirds. We should have been able to control (Parliament together). But this is politics. They don't want to unite.
"For example, in Perak and Pahang, (PN) could have collaborated with Umno but Umno was worried that it will be 'killed' by PAS.
"The fact is, Harapan is killing Umno," he said. - Mkini
