KOTA BARU: An unrepentant Datuk Seri Nik Aziz Nik Mat said he would not apologise for calling Umno members orangutans, as he had meant it.
“Sometimes one has to be a bit rough for the message to hit home,” the PAS spiritual adviser said of his statement made on Sunday.
“When someone does something wrong, we should be in the position to correct him. Sometimes I advise, sometimes I use the rotan (cane). In this case, it is the rotan.
"Even the West uses the word 'animal' quite liberally. I am not even using the word ‘animal’. I am only using the word ‘orangutan’, which is not as bad," he told reporters at his office here Tuesday.
On the PAS candidates selected to contest here, Nik Aziz said in an interview that as far as he knew, they were all non-smokers.
In the past, Nik Aziz had said party members who smoked did not fully understand Islam, as smoking was considered haram (forbidden) or makruh (allowed but not encouraged).
He had even likened smokers to animals who did not think before hurting themselves.

1) Teluk Intan MP constituency is either Gerakan or DAP. I definitely will vote for PAS if the field a member here... Lets ban all the smoking activity. I agreed with Nik Aziz, why want to spend money to hurt yourself.
2) For your informations, my pharmacy does not welcome anyone coming in with a cigarette on their mouth or hand. Usually i will asked them to finished off their cigarette before entering pharmalogik. Then i will give a lengthy counselling on smoking cessations. Some potential customers even left without buying anything. But at least i am doing my part. Haha...
