In the midst of the recent littoral combat ship (LCS) debacle and Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s SRC International Sdn Bhd law suit, a Facebook post published on Saturday (August 20) by Abdul Hadi Awang, the PAS president, highlighted the issue of bribery within the country; calling for holistic measures to be taken in attempt to exterminate corruption.
In the post, he also equated the act to an illness and asserted that perpetrators were sinners.
“Electing people who are not worthy to be leaders is a form of treachery that will destroy the world,” he explained.
From a religious stance, he explained that according to Islamic scriptures, the faith educates its worshippers on the fact that illegal property is not only sinful to all who use it, but goes so far as to become a form bait enticing people to end up in Hell. In addition to that, illicit wealth does not bring any berkat (blessing) to its owner.
