Gempur Secretariat files police report over hate speech by PAS leaders
KUALA LUMPUR: An NGO has filed a police report regarding hate speech by PAS leaders against the Madani Government during the 70th PAS Congress in Temerloh, Pahang, recently.
According to the Wilayahku portal, the Social Media People’s Movement Secretariat (SGGMSR), through its head, Shahbudin Embun, stated that authorities should take immediate action as the speeches by the opposition party leaders could impact the political stability of the country.
“We filed a police report after witnessing the speeches of PAS leaders at the congress, which not only shocked Malaysians but also drew the attention of the Minister of Home Affairs (Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution).
“He (Saifuddin) issued a three-page statement criticizing PAS leaders for using the congress to insult, defame, and incite hatred against the government,” he said at a press conference.
Meanwhile, Shahbudin remarked that the speech by PAS President Hadi Awang during this annual congress also warrants investigation due to its excessive nature.
He expressed concern that the statements made by PAS leaders are linked to incitement that could influence the public.
“Hadi’s speech at the PAS Congress was extreme; we have never seen such behavior in any other party’s conference, which typically discusses policy issues and the party’s future.
“However, PAS is using the congress to manipulate facts. Therefore, I urge the relevant authorities to investigate such speeches,” he stated.
On September 17, the Secretary-General of the Pakatan Harapan (PH), Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, said that the speeches and resolutions presented by PAS leaders over the five days of the 70th PAS Congress were filled with insults, hatred, and baseless fantasies.
Saifuddin, who is also the Minister of Home Affairs, described the congress as a historical recording that became a peak of political hatred, fostering a culture of slander, insults, and abuse under Hadi’s leadership.
He noted that the party, established in 1951, has strayed far from the original struggles founded by figures such as Zulkifli Muhammad, Burhanuddin al-Helmi, Fadhil Noor, Yusuf Rawa, and Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat.
