PAS President Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang has reiterated the party's stand that only Muslims can be the prime minister of this country.
He, however, said anybody can be a minister, regardless of whether the person was a Muslim or a non-Muslim if the opposition pact formed the next government after the May 5 general election.
"Non-Muslims can work with Muslims to administer this country on condition, No. 1, the prime minister must be a Muslim.
"The person in charge of policies must be a Muslim in an Islamic nation. If he is a non-Muslim, then he should embrace Islam.
"For instance, for the Works Minister's post, if the person picked is a non-Muslim, but he has the knowledge and expertise in road and building construction, we will appoint him, but we will not appoint a non-Muslim to take charge of mosques," he said in his ceramah here late last night.
Hadi, who is defending the Marang parliamentary seat and the Rhu Rendang state seat, also belittled the BN-led state government's efforts to transform the Kenyir Lake as a duty-free zone.
He also said the construction of the Kemaman Zoo was a sheer waste of public funds.
Much of Hadi's speech at the ceramah centred on raising outdated issues and openly criticising BN's top leadership and state leaders, including Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Said.
