PAS president Hadi Awang at the winding speech in the Muktamar SHOCKED PAS delegates with the words of 'barua' and 'broker' blasted at the two PAS assemblymen - Saari Sungib and Hasnul Bahariddin.
(The word "barua' in the Malay language has a very strong connotation to lackeys carrying out the worst of crimes for a pittance.)
The two PAS ADUNs had given PKR President Wan Azizah Wan Ismail (left) the majority in the Selangor state assembly. Hadi also condemned fellow coalition parties DAP and PKR left and right.
One of Hadi's strongmen was shocked that such words came out in public, consciously delivered, from the mouth OF ONE WHO HAS BEEN SEEN TO BE A RELIGIOUS SCHOLAR rather than a politician.
A long -time supporter of Hadi said,
"These are the words from the president, who once upon a time, got such compliments from our spiritual leader Nik Aziz who said Hadi's speeches should be Friday sermons. And this time, his speech seemed to be full of spite, is this what a Friday sermon should be like?
"This will be talked about for years to come - the time when a PAS president - an ulama - just tripped over his image, all for a post which does not even belong to the party."
A cleric from PAS said,
"i never expected him to say it. How are you to cover up for him now? How do we even do damage control? Even the non-Muslim leaders of Pakatan never use such words to describe those they do not agree with," said a cleric from PAS.
He further said his cleric friends in PAS also said that if he had said it in a fit of anger, they could defend him.
"But this was written on paper, he had time to realise that what he said is almost irretractable. He must be very sick that he cannot control his emotions. Only God knows," said the cleric.
All those interviewed, however, say they still want to be in the party despite what the president said. Thus the request for anonymity.
"We in PAS are different. The president is not the party and if he is "tired", we will ask him to go "nicely"," said an Erdogan leader.
Muslimats in PAS say they have been keeping quiet and observing everything, not wanting to be with any side.
Muslimats interviewed said Hadi must have not been "advised properly".
One Muslimate delegate said
"That last speech by Hadi, proved to me that Selangor MB’s post means so much to him, to the extent he is willing to bury his image with Pakatan.
"Now, we have to go out and face our non-Muslim voters and explain to them why Hadi did not behave the way a Muslim leader should. What is it with the position, it is not like the prime minister's post."
"Now, we hope he will come to his senses and retire gracefully. The problem is how we are going to convince him that what he did was wrong, for all this while, we looked up to Hadi as the one with the knowledge."
One longtime PAS member said the fact that Hadi used such strong words against his own party members who insisted they did so to keep the state with the opposition, was because Hadi already knew that PAS was not going to get the MB’s post.
"They (the media) said that our PAS state assemblymen have been interviewed but then the rumours are strong that the most likely candidate is PKR's Azmin Ali.
"If PAS had indeed gotten the post, do you think Hadi would be in a such a foul mood at the winding up?" suggested the Kelantanese who has been with PAS for two decades now.
