PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man says that one way of improving the image of Islam and to show a just leadership is for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to go on leave while 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) investigations are ongoing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI suggest to Umno as a ruling government, to fulfil a few requirements as a first step to improving the image of Malaysia and Islam,\u201d he said in a statement on Monday night.<\/p>\n
Tuan Ibrahim\u2019s first suggestion is for Umno president Najib to take leave until the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and the Auditor-General complete investigations and publish a report on 1MDB.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is important in order to restore the good name of the Umno president, Malaysia and Islam as the investigation must be seen to be fair,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Another suggestion is the abolishment of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), which Tuan Ibrahim claims are against Islam as the very poor are also taxed.<\/p>\n
His fourth request is to decrease waste and abuse of Government funds and to take strict action based on recent audit reports.<\/p>\n
Other suggestions were to lessen government spending, to investigate the Malaysian Islamic Economic Development Foundation (Yapeim), and to \u201creturn Kelantan\u2019s oil royalty immediately\u201d.<\/p>\n
He explained that all the above can be carried out by Umno without the help of PAS as a means of showing the rakyat that Umno is serious in upholding Islam.<\/p>\n
Tuan Ibrahim added that PAS would continue in its \u201cdakwah\u201d (preaching and Islamic education) efforts.<\/p>\n
On Monday, Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said that focus needs to be given on fixing the image of Islam.<\/p>\n
He added that whoever made the first move in a possible political cooperation between Umno and PAS did not matter, as what was important was to focus on the teaching of Islam.<\/p>\n
Hishammuddin, however, added that any political cooperation between the two was \u201cnot even close\u201d to being confirmed. -thestaronline<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
