		  Media Comment by Lim Kit Siang in Petaling Jaya on 
		Monday, 22nd December 2008:  
		
		Hukum hudud not Pakatan Rakyat policy  
		Media reports that PAS vice president Datuk 
		Husam Musa has said that PAS will implement hudud if Pakatan Rakyat 
		takes over the Federal Government has created a frenzy of reaction. 
		 
		Hukum hudud is not Pakatan Rakyat policy and it is for Husam to clarify 
		what he actually said. 
		 
		DAP�s stand on the secular character of Malaysian nation and state as 
		agreed in the social contract by our forefathers when Merdeka was 
		achieved 51 years ago remain consistent and unchanged. 
		 
		If unclarified, Husam�s statement would create unease, anxiety and 
		opposition not only among the 11% of the Chinese voters in the critical 
		Kuala Terengganu by-election on January 17 but also among both Malay and 
		non-Malay voters whether in Terengganu or the rest of Malaysia.
