By Debra Chong<\/span><\/p>\n KUALA LUMPUR<\/span>, Nov 7 \u2013 Who is the boss in PAS? The question \u2013 brought out in the open by a Negri Sembilan representative, Mohd Khairil Anuar Wafa \u2013 underscores the entire Islamist party\u2019s special seminar here today.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The gathering was intended to strengthen the party\u2019s ranks and dispel persisting views of a irrevocable split between party president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang and its spiritual adviser Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWho is the real authority in the part? The president? Or the Mursyidul Am?\u201d Mohd Khairil asked.<\/span><\/p>\n He said the grassroots were confused over whose orders they should follow.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe don\u2019t want two captains in one ship,\u201d he added, and warned that if the issue was not made plain and clear to the members and the masses, it would spell the end of the party. \u201cThis will cause the ship to sink,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Mohd Khairil also noted a need for the central leadership to be clear in stating the party\u2019s policies and direction because the party seemed to be \u201cmoving without a destination.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n He slammed them for being slow to nip disputes in the bud, such as when they were still at party-level, which allowed the issues to grow out of hand and become a national problem and cited the growing disagreements among Pakatan Rakyat (PR) components in Selangor as an example.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Mohd Khairil explained that he was fully supportive of the party\u2019s expressed desire to remain a part of PR, but the coalition must be clear about the common objectives and what each party can and cannot do.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n He was frustrated at the seeming limits placed on PAS to talk about the rights of Muslims and Malays even though they constituted the majority community in Malaysia.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n He pointed out that the core issues were still ambiguous, especially on Islamic issues, which frequently sowed confusion among partner parties and the public.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWhat\u2019s the stand now on setting up an Islamic state?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe Islamic policy must be explained in detail so supporters can get the benefit of understanding the Islamic movement,\u201d Mohd Khairil said.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The delegates before Mohd Khairil had expressed their concern over the public perception that PAS is less committed to making the fledgling alliance a viable alternative to the ruling front than its other Pakatan partners, DAP and PKR.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 st1:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } \/* Style Definitions *\/ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:”Table Normal”; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:””; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:”Times New Roman”; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} By Debra Chong KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 7 \u2013 Who is the boss in PAS?
