00:00A DAP youth leader has filed a police report against Abdul Hadi Awang over a Facebook post
00:07by the past president opposing the proposal for a limit to the Prime Minister's tenure.
00:13Kepung DAP Youth Chief Jefferson Chia, who filed the report at the Kepung Police Station
00:18yesterday, said Hadi's statement was seditious, particularly his claim that Islam is being
00:24openly opposed by DAP.
00:26In his statement, Jefferson said that this is a dangerous accusation that could trigger
00:31racial and religious tensions.
00:33He also said Hadi must be hauled to court and take responsibility for his statement,
00:39warning that inaction from authorities will encourage politicians to make more hateful
00:43and seditious statements.
00:45Last Sunday, DAP Secretary-General Lok Siu Fook said the party wanted the government
00:50to amend the federal constitution to include a two-term limit for the Prime Minister.
00:56Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim expressed support for the proposal, but said consensus was needed
01:01among the political parties.
01:03However, Hadi criticized DAP's call, saying the proposal went against God's will, and
01:08that liberal factions dominating the political landscape were actively working to dismantle
01:13the system that safeguarded Islamic rights.
