Quit as you’re a liability, Karpal told

By SATIMAN JAMIN

KUALA TERENGGANU: Terengganu Pas Youth chief Mohd Nor Hamzah has urged DAP national chairman Karpal Singh to quit politics because his “outdated views” had become a liability to Pakatan Rakyat.

Nor, who is also Bukit Payung assemblyman, said Karpal’s media outbursts against the implementation of hudud had strained the relationship among Pakatan Rakyat parties. “Hudud implementation is our party’s agenda.

“He (Karpal) should resign to allow leaders who can handle issues like hudud to step up.

"Although Pas has stressed that hudud is for Muslims, Karpal continues attacking Pas leaders.

"If he does not understand the issue, he should ask for a clarification instead of outbursts through the media."

Nor said he was fully behind the Pas Youth leadership on the issue.

He urged Pas and other Pakatan Rakyat party leaders to meet so that everyone could be clear about the implementation of hudud.

Asked whether such a meeting would be useful as similar meetings in the past had failed to change Karpal's stance, Nor said: "That is exactly why Pakatan needs younger and more dynamic leaders who can handle the issue better."

Karpal's latest outburst on hudud followed Nasrudin's statement during a debate with Umno Youth's Fathul Bari Mat Jahaya that Karpal had become more agreeable to implementation of hudud. Karpal refuted this. Additional reporting by A. Azim Idris
