MIC Youth: Ex-judge ‘out of his mind’

Sivarraajh takes offence at Mohd Noor's remarks about “big idols” standing in full public view.

KUALA LUMPUR: MIC Youth today questioned retired judge Mohd Noor Abdullah’s soundness of mind when he said non-Muslims should not erect large religious sculptures where they would be in full view of the public.

The movement’s chief, C Sivarraajh, said in a media release that the former Appeal Court judge must have been “out of his mind” when he made his remarks in a recent interview with the Malay Mail and Bernama.

Extracts from the interview have been widely circulated through social media and Mohd Noor has received brickbats from various quarters.

According to the Malay Mail, he complained about the statue of Lord Murugan in Batu Caves and that of the Goddess of Mercy outside a Buddhist Temple in Penang, saying: “When non-Muslims build such big idols, it hurts people’s feelings.”

Sivarraajh accused him of expressing a racial sentiment and said MIC Youth was “warning” him to stop doing so.

“MIC Youth feels disgraced with the manner former Appeal Court judge Mohd Noor Abdullah expressed his views,” he said.

“As such MIC Youth warns him to stop passing racial remarks that interfere with the harmonious living of Malaysians.

“As a learned former judge, he should refrain from passing remarks that could give avenue for diversion and unnecessary brickbats from other religious practitioners.

“We live in a country that advocates love, peace and harmony. Such remarks could stir unnecessary racial sentiments.”
