Hadi to DAP: Local council elections can lead to another ‘May 13’


Hadi

PETALING JAYA: PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang has warned DAP that their push for local council elections in Penang could spark racial polarisation in Chinese-majority urban areas, and eventually lead to a repeat of the May 13 riots. 

He said DAP was making a “mistake” by only considering the aspect of urban residents for the purpose of winning elections in the short term.
