KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 6 — Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang claimed today that Muslims are obligated to vote as it is akin to “jihad” or a holy struggle when other ethnic groups are threatening the political dominance of the majority group in Malaysia.
“They are obliged to vote just by using a pencil, rather than fighting with weapons. Except when the enemy comes to conquer by force,” he added, saying that negligence in carrying out this duty of voting can cause the loss of political power of Muslims and therefore resulting in them being humiliated in this world and the hereafter.
In the piece, he cited various Quranic verses and hadith to justify his argument that society must be led by a Muslim, and it is a religious obligation for Muslims to ensure this.
