KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 31 — Pro-moderation group G25 has demanded that PAS president Datuk Seri Hadi Awang retract his remarks comparing the group and Al-Maunah, a militant group that sparked a major security alert back in 2000.Harakahdaily“The PAS president’s unacceptable slander of G25 in branding us as worse than terrorist group Al-Maunah is defamatory and has the tendency to incite or provoke hatred or discontent towards G25 which are offences under sections 503 and 505 of the Penal Code.
“In view of the above, we demand that Abdul Hadi retract his unfounded allegations against G25 and issue a public apology. We reserve all our rights, including taking legal action,” the group said in a statement today.“G25 is perplexed by the contents of the said article and its title which is highly defamatory of G25 and is replete with false accusations and misstatements.
“The said article purports to be a response to the G25 report Administration of Matters Pertaining to Islam in Malaysia . “Yet it is evident that Datuk Seri Hadi Awang has neither read nor understood the SAIM report, but uses this opportunity to level extremely irresponsible and serious allegations against G25,” the group said.
