Based on past general elections, the number of seats PAS could garner would not be sufficient for it to impose Hudud law or for its President to be PM, unless supported by its other coalition partners, PKR and DAP. Yet, the mainstream media took advantage of PAS intention to have its President as PM should Pakatan win the GE, to play on the fears of non-Muslims that the next step would be Hudud law. Never mind that this contradicts the earlier agreement among coalition leaders that Anwar Ibrahim is the chosen one.
Then we read reports about a Chinese unisex hair salon being summoned for contravening by-laws in Kelantan, followed by municipal officer's insistence that they will not allow that even for non-Muslims. I had a hard time listening to fellow retirees who seem to agree that this alone will drive away support from non-Muslims, not only for PAS, but to its other partners, PKR and DAP. I am glad President for PAS has just stated that the by-law should not include non-Muslims.
In reality, I can imagine the minority non-Muslims living in Kelantan are already mentally prepared for the stricter Muslim laws for umpteen years. If they could not take it, then they would have moved to more conducive states where for eg. 4-D outlets are found all over the place. But what happened to one unisex salon was seized upon by the msm and blown out of proportion, while MCA thinks it is more important than living with radioactive waste near Lynas.
