Hadi had also accused them of being the majority of those involved in ruining the country’s politics and economy.

Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng said his party colleagues would be giving a statement to the police tomorrow, stating that Hadi’s remarks could disrupt peace and harmony in a multiracial Malaysia.

He said the PAS president’s statement infringed on Section 504 and 505 of the Penal Code, for making statements with intent to incite any community and for intentionally making an insult, despite knowing that it would disrupt public peace.

Lim also said that Hadi might have broken other laws as well and that Hadi’s statement only “fuels the flames of racism” and did not help in addressing the issue of rampant corruption in the country.

“Yet, till today, no action has been taken against Abdul Hadi Awang,” Lim said in a statement.

“If the remarks were made by another individual, he would have been arrested and authorities would have acted on him. As a politician, what he (Hadi) did was wrong.”

Lim is the latest political figure to condemn Hadi for his remarks. Two days ago, three Malay DAP leaders – Syahredzan Johan, Young Syefura Othman and Sheik Umar Bagharib Ali – slammed Hadi for associating non-Muslims and non-Bumiputeras with corruption in Malaysia.

The trio, who are also DAP central committee members, then questioned why Malaysia was still unable to perform well in the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) ranking despite having PAS in the government since 2020.

They also pointed out that non-Muslim majority countries like Singapore, Denmark and New Zealand were doing much better in the CPI rankings than Malaysia.
