00:00DAP's Shirlina Abdul Rashid today accused PAS Youth of resorting to sensationalism when

00:07criticising the proposed Urban Renewal Act following the wing's bizarre parallels between

00:12the legislation and the plight of the Palestinians.

00:15In a statement, Shirlina described PAS Youth's protests as a masterclass in political absurdity,

00:20saying that Malaysians were not under siege nor was the government bulldozing homes in

00:24occupied territories.

00:28She said the government was not even displacing communities through military force, and comparing

00:32a legitimate urban planning policy to Zionist aggression is not only intellectually dishonest

00:38but dangerously irresponsible.

00:40PAS Youth Deputy Chief Hafiz Zabri had drawn parallels with the plight of the Palestinians

00:45when insisting that the bill would pressure urbanites, especially the poorer Malays, to

00:49relocate and hand over their land.

00:52Shirlina, who previously defended the proposed law, said the Urban Renewal Act was about

00:57revitalising cities, preventing decay and ensuring safer, better living environments.

01:03She said instead of championing progress, PAS Youth prefers their usual theatrics of

01:07manufacturing outrage over policies they barely understand.

01:12However, yesterday, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said that the proposed act would not force

01:17property owners to give up their homes or alter the ethnic composition of residential

01:22areas.
