Bung Moktar: PAS' prayers for Umno's downfall led to Kelantan floods


KUALA LUMPUR: The massive floods which hit Kelantan and the Sultan Muhammad IV stadium in particular was due to PAS' prayers for the downfall of Umno, Datuk Bung Moktar Radin (pic) claimed.

In his debate during the motion of thanks on the Royal address, the Kinabatangan MP hit out at PAS for accusing the Federal Government of not assisting when floods ravaged the state late last year.

"Umno was often accused of being cruel and yet, we still went to Kelantan to help the people in need.

"When you prayed for Umno's destruction at that stadium, which was never touched by flood for hundreds of years, suddenly in return floods hit the stadium too," Bung said in Parliament on Thursday.

On Nov 2012, PAS, in conjunction of its muktamar, had held prayers for the fall of Barisan Nasional and Umno's destruction at Sultan Muhammad IV stadium in Kota Baru.

Bung pointed out that even the Kelantan Mentri Besar had admitted that "he could not do anything" during the recent floods, before Umno offered assistance.

He also noted that Government agencies such as the Federal Land Consolidation and Rehabilitation Authority (Felcra) had spent some RM13mil to help the flood victims in the state.
