PAS protests against Nanyang, wants paper closed down

PETALING JAYA: PAS and several Muslim non-governmental organisations have demanded a direct apology from Nanyang Siang Pau over a caricature deemed to be insulting to Islam.

Although the Chinese daily had issued an apology, PAS information Youth chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari said it now has to direct its apology to PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang and Dewan Rakyat speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia who were depicted as “monkeys” in the caricature.
