MCLM meets SAPP

Kota Kinabalu, March 31, 2011: Malaysian Civil Liberties Movement (MCLM) President, Haris Ibrahim said if the federal government was serious about 1Malaysia, then there will not be the concept of 'ketuanan melayu'.

 

"Look at how the government deal with the Al-kitab issue, fundamental rights of any citizen to practise their own faith and freedom of religion were trespassed," he said.

 

"Instead, we should embrace it ... reading of the other religious books will create better understanding likewise on greater understanding of our diverse culture, races, languages.

 

When asked about the 'cow head incident' in Shah Alam on the protest against the Hindu shrine relocation and the burning of churches last year, Haris said it was the work of Umno members.

"Where is the political will and sincerity to see 1Malaysia through? It is no different from Mahathir's Wawasan 2020 and Paklah's ....Tembirang," Haris said.
