KUALA LUMPUR, July 8 \u2014 Hostilities between PAS and DAP in Kedah ended today after a meeting between leaders from both parties today resulted in the setting up of a committee to smoothen communications on policy issues.<\/font> <\/p>\n

The announcement, made by the DAP\u2019s Lim Kit Siang and Kedah PAS Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak here today, is aimed at pre-empting another fallout between Pakatan Rakyat (PR) parties in the state from recurring.<\/font><\/p>\n

Azizan and Lim then said the committee, apart from being able to prevent similar problems from recurring, is a step forward in strengthening the PR coalition in the state as far as ironing out their ideological differences are concerned. <\/font><\/p>\n

\u201cThe committee can help resolve all problems immediately,\u201d Lim told a press conference held after the meeting.<\/font><\/p>\n

The two parties have been at loggerheads for weeks over several issues like the demolition of temples throughout the state and the 50 per cent housing quota for Malays.<\/font><\/p>\n

The rift widened when the Alor Star City Council demolished an illegal pig abattoir there culminating in DAP\u2019s sole representative in Azizan\u2019s administration quitting.<\/font><\/p>\n

Azizan said the abattoir issue had now been resolved as his government had located an alternative site which is currently being used for pig rearing.<\/font><\/p>\n

\u201cThe site is far from residences and the Kedah Veterinary Department along with the National Pig Rearing Association have agreed that this site is the best alternative location,\u201d said Azizan.<\/font><\/p>\n

On the temple demolition issue, Azizan said the temples were built on private land in which the owners had not taken over the properties without the temple operators being compensated.<\/font><\/p>\n

As for the housing quota for Malays, the Kedah mentri besar said the quota was not a rigid but a flexible policy where houses not sold under the quota system can be sold to non-Malays.<\/font><\/p>\n

Kedah DAP leaders present at today’s press conference said they were pleased with the progress made by Azizan and would look forward to solving all outstanding issues as a strong coalition.-MalaysianInsider<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
