PAS’ Help Sought to Stop Pig-Rearing Project
KUALA LUMPUR - About 300 members of a non-governmental organisation (NGO), Majlis Permuafakatan Ummah (Pewaris), gathered in front of the Bandar Baru Bangi Stadium, on Monday night to hand over a memorandum seeking PAS’ assistance in an effort to stop the pig-farming project in Masjid Tanah, Malacca.

According to The Star Online, a minor commotion broke out when the Pewaris members were initially prevented from entering a talk on abolishing the Internal Security Act organised by PAS.
However, after negotiating for more than 10 minutes, the organisers allowed five Pewaris members to enter the stadium to hand over the memorandum.
Pewaris deputy chairman Rahimuddin Md Harun later handed over the memorandum to PAS vice-president Mohamad Sabu and PAS Youth head Salahuddin Ayub.
Pewaris and the Gabungan Gerakan Melayu Muda (GGMM), representing the residents of six villages in Malacca, want the PAS leaders to assist them in resolving the problems regarding pig-farming.
About 30 police personnel from the Kajang District Police Headquarters maintained security at the stadium.
