Anthony Loke's defensive stand on PAS' hudud has led to Kelantan's hair salon ban

DAP Socialist Youth chief Anthony Loke Siew Fook must carry some responsibility for the state-wide ban imposed in Kelantan against all unisex hair salons as he had defended PAS hudud enactment, thus emboldening them to enforce this ruling which was implemented since 1991 by the PAS state government.

Anthony Loke had once claimed that if a person did not steal or rob, then he or she has nothing to be afraid of PAS hudud enactment. However, when it comes to the crunch, we can see that DAP is only attempting to confuse the public and shirking their responsibility towards the non-Muslim community.

Immediately after the issue of the ban on hair salons, Anthony Loke should have spoken up against this regulation which have caused dissatisfaction among the people of Kelantan and creating difficulties for them. He should have known that if this can happen in states under PAS' control, what more if DAP actually helps PAS take over Putrajaya? Anthony Loke's defencee of PAS hudud enactment was also praised by PAS' spiritual advisor Dato' Nik Abdul Aziz. Thus, this is now his fault as he has forsaken his responsibilities in helping PAS mislead the Chinese community and other non-Muslims.

Non-Muslims will be affected no matter what Pakatan claims

How can Anthony Loke be expected to explain the implications of PAS' hudud enactments on non-Muslim businesses? Refusing to approve unisex salon licenses and forcing men and women to go to separate hair salons are acts which definitely affect non-Muslims. Does Anthony Loke still think that our claims are utter nonsense?

PAS President Dato' Seri Hadi Awang has once said that Pakatan will seek to amend the Federal Constitution to implement PAS hudud enactments. In Kelantan, there have already been signs of PAS' policies being implemented such as forcing female workers to wear long sleeves by issuing fines, even to non-Muslims by the Kota Bahru City Council, imposing a ban on the sale of licenced lottery tickets as well as forcing men and women to line up separately at the supermarket.

Ominous silence by DAP leadership

Among all of DAP leaders, only its Chairman Karpal Singh is still adamant that PAS' hudud is unconstitutional. The others continue keeping silent as usual. Their lack of support towards their own chairman only reflects their ambitions of seizing power at the expense of non-Muslim interests, thus that is why they are afraid to come out and publicly support their chairman.
