MCA organising secretary, Senator Datuk Yoo Wei How said the DAP had closed both eyes on PAS' action and took no measures whatsoever to try to stop PAS who had put the rights of non-Muslims in jeopardy.

In a separate statement, Wanita MCA condemned PAS' persistence on hudud law and believed the action will bring an end to Malaysia's multiculturalism.

Wanita MCA chief Datuk Heng Seai Kie said the unanimous passing of hudud law by the Kelantan state assembly is a dangerous trend that will eventually overturn the secular legal system.

Meanwhile, Gerakan president Datuk Mah Siew Keong expressed his disappointment over the passing of amendments to the hudud law in Kelantan.

He stressed that Gerakan was consistent with its stand on hudud law which he described as unconstitutional and impractical in Malaysian society.
