PENANG, JAN 15 (Bernama) -- Penang Gerakan Youth has slammed
Chief
Minister Lim Guan Eng for lacking principles as he failed to make a
strong stand on the hudud law.
Party deputy chief H'ng Khoon Leng said Lim, who is also DAP
secretary-general, supported the hudud law by supporting PAS candidate
Mohd Abdul Wahid Endut in the
Kuala Terengganu by-election.
"You (Guan Eng) can play politics, but don't play with our rights," he
said at the soft launch of the 'No Hudud Campaign' held at the Gerakan
headquarters here today.
On the other hand, he said that DAP chairman
Karpal Singh was a man of
principles as he firmly opposed the hudud law.
The campaign, chaired by H'ng, is aimed at raising awareness on the
negative implications of the hudud law, prevent the enactment and
gazetting of the law and repeal the existing hudud law in Kelantan and
Terengganu.
He said quoted a survey by the Merdeka Centre which showed that 50 per
cent of the Chinese community were unaware of the significance of the
hudud law.
He said the group would be campaigning house-to-house in Tanjong to
distribute information on the hudud law, beginning Sunday.
A website for the campaign would be set up by the end of the month, added H'ng.
