PAS should accept public rejection of its puritanism


ALL sane and responsible people understand the need to live by certain ethical values and moral standards. Malaysians, generally, have never been an “anything goes” people.

But at the same time, many of us also realise that these values and standards tend to be subjective, being personal or communal in scope, limits and interpretation. All modern societies are heterogeneous spaces with myriad tastes and expressions, afforded between the rights of citizens and the laws of the land.
