Fix your own wrongs and stop finding faults with the previous administration, PAS chief tells the gov't.
PAS has urged the Pakatan Harapan government to tax the rich in order to provide free education."The way to do it is by taxing the wealthy, the corporate figures and by combatting corruption. If all these are implemented, then free education can be made possible," the Marang MP said at a forum last night that was broadcast live on his Facebook page.
Wan Saiful said they were unable to do so because of the country's debt situation and because funds were needed to provide loans to new students. The PTPTN deferment promise was the sixth of the 10 promises Harapan pledged to fulfil in its first 100 days in office, a timeline that ended on Aug 17 last year.
Hadi also"reminded" Harapan to stop finding faults with the previous government and to instead concentrate on keeping to the promises it made in its 14th general election manifesto."Harapan, after winning, we see that it is struggling with many weaknesses of not being able to deliver to the rakyat. "Perhaps it should stop bringing up the faults of the previous administration and try to rectify its own wrongs," Hadi said.To post or ‘like’ comments on Malaysiakini stories, you will need to sign in with an active paid subscription.
