PAS Youth leader calls for mixed marriages to woo non-Malays

Aubidullah Fahim Ibrahim says by marrying someone of another race, the party would not just gain one vote but hundreds of votes from non-Malays.

Selangor PAS Youth leader Aubidullah Fahim Ibrahim wants party members to enter into interracial marriages to attract non-Malays votes.
TEMERLOH:
A Selangor PAS Youth leader has proposed that members marry non-Malays to increase support for the Islamic party.

“A mixed marriage would not just be able to secure one vote, but hundreds from the non-Malay community,” Selangor PAS Youth secretary Aubidullah Fahim Ibrahim told delegates at PAS’s 70th muktamar here.

He then jokingly challenged PAS Youth chief Afnan Hamimi Taib Azamudden and Selangor PAS Youth chief Sukri Omar to lead the way.

Aubidullah’s proposal came in the wake of a call by PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man for the wing to focus on wooing the support of the non-Malays so the party could helm the federal government after the next election.

Meanwhile, Kelantan PAS Youth vice-chief Firdaus Nawi called for party leaders and members to exercise caution when taking on DAP to avoid hurting the feelings of the non-Malays.

Firdaus said DAP does not represent the Chinese and Indians when they issue provocative statements.

“When we respond to DAP, please ensure that we do not make sweeping statements about the Chinese and Indians, a majority of whom are peace loving people.”

Firdaus said the party should avoid antagonising the non-Malays when hitting back at their political rivals.

“We do not want to hurt the feelings of the very people we are trying to attract.”
