PETALING JAYA: Former Klang MP Charles Santiago has scoffed at PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang’s claim that non-Malays have no reason to fear the party ahead of the Aug 12 state elections.
Santiago said if PAS had not created fear among non-Malays, it would not need to come up with such statements in the first place.
“How do you explain compounding a Chinese woman for wearing shorts in public?” he said, referring to an incident in June where a business owner was fined by the Kota Bharu Municipal Council for violating by-laws on “indecent clothing”.
