Yii, who is also Pakatan Harapan (PH) Youth chief, said it appears that PAS is out of ideas and has nothing constructive to offer the public.

“When Malaysians are grappling with a surge in the cost of living and a gloomy economy, all PAS seems to care about is to morally police others,” he said in a statement.

Yesterday, PAS Youth chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari warned against concerts being held in the country and urged Muslims to oppose such events. He said such events would only invite the “wrath of Allah”.

Ahmad, who is Pasir Mas MP, added: “Don’t provoke Muslims. This isn’t about politics or partisan politics. This is a religious matter.”

His posting on Facebook was made in the wake of a concert held by American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish.

Yii said such remarks were merely intended to create animosity in a multicultural and plural society like Malaysia, and infringes on the rights of the people as enshrined in the Federal Constitution.

The Bandar Kuching MP added that the Islamic party should acknowledge and respect that the public was able to think and evaluate any form of entertainment for themselves.

“The fate of the country lies on good governance and policies rather than the number of concerts that we have,” he said.

“All these divisive rhetoric are merely a smokescreen for its (PAS) leaders’ incompetence in the government when dealing with the real issues that affect all Malaysians.”

This is the first time that PAS is speaking out after a concert has been held.

Previously, the Islamic party had criticised concerts by international stars prior to the event. This included the one by Selena Gomez in 2016, with PAS calling for it to be banned, claiming it promoted “Western culture and hedonism”.
