advised those involved in the Pulai parliamentary by-election to refrain from engaging in campaigns that manipulate religious and racial sentiments.
“This situation will sow the seeds of even more serious divisions and threaten the security of the nation,“ he said in a statement today, following a statement by a political leader declaring it ‘haram’ to vote for a candidate contesting in the by-election. According to media reports, Perikatan Nasional chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin was reported to have declared it haram for those who vote for Pakatan Harapan candidate Suhaizan Kayat in the Pulai parliamentary by-election.
“However, the people of this country associate the use of the term haram with Syariah law, which is the law of prohibition that promises rewards for those who obey it and punishment for those who violate it.
