AMK disagrees with DAP's call for PAS to leave Pakatan over hudud

Keadilan Youth Movement (AMK) today voiced its disagreement to a call by DAP that PAS withdraw from the coalition if it insisted on implementing hudud law in Kelantan.

Its chief, Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin said as the youth movement of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), AMK would not agree with calls especially by its partners in the Pakatan Rakyat for parties to withdraw from coalition without strong reasons.

However, the Melaka state PKR chairman said AMK understood the stand of the DAP on the hudud issue and stressed that it should be resolved within the opposition coalition leadership.

He was met by reporters after voting at Taman Bemban Utama here today for the 2014-2017 PKR leadership election in which he is contesting for the vice-president post.

Kelantan PAS through its members of Parliament plan to move a Private Member's Bill on hudud law at Dewan Rakyat to obtain approval for implementation of Kelantan's Syariah Criminal Code Enactment (2) 1993 by this December.

On Friday, DAP national organising secretary Loke Siew Fook was reported as saying PAS should withdraw from the coalition if it insisted on proceeding with the implementation of hudud law in Kelantan.
