00:00Past President Abdul Hadi Awang today denied claims that the party promotes autocratic
00:05or theocratic rule.
00:07In a statement, Hadi said labels such as theocratic are often used through a Western political
00:13lens to portray Islam negatively.
00:17The Marang MP said Islamic political leadership is based on justice, accountability, and shura
00:23instead of blind obedience to rulers.
00:26He said Islam is founded on a constitutional system that does not treat leaders as defined
00:32figures in governing political, economic, and societal affairs.
00:37Therefore, labels such as theocratic are not part of Islamic political jurisprudence.
00:43On Friday, Hadi said PAS was reassessing its alliance with Bersatu, including the possibility
00:49of contesting the next general election without the Muhyiddin Yassin-led party.
00:54Bersatu expressed regret over Hadi's remarks, saying all major perikatan national decisions
01:01should be discussed and decided through consensus in the Coalition's Supreme Council.
