Hadi grateful for Memali poser, claims Dr M's response caused fracas

PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang said those engrossed in the blame game over the violence at the Nothing to Hide 2.0 forum have forgotten that it was sparked off by Dr Mahathir Mohamad's unsatisfactory response regarding the Memali incident.

He noted that PAS was the victim of that episode, which led to the Islamist party losing one of its leaders, Ibrahim Mahmud.

“Thank you to those who sought an explanation for the Memali incident. Those who failed to answer the question should not get upset...

“The youths alone should not be faulted (for the fracas), the cause of it should also be blamed,” he said in a media statement which did not mention Mahathir's name.

The Memali confrontation in Kedah occurred in November 1985 when police laid siege around an Islamic sect with about 400 followers.

In the ensuing clash, 14 villagers and four police personnel were killed. Ibrahim, who was popularly known as Ibrahim Libya, also perished in the incident.

Sunday's Nothing to Hide 2.0 forum witnessed flares being ignited as well as chairs and slippers thrown in the direction of Mahathir as he was answering a question on the Memali incident.

The opposition has pointed the finger at Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak and Umno. But the latter has blamed it on dissatisfaction within the opposition coalition towards Mahathir.

The police have arrested three youths in connection with the incident.
