PKR has urged Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to declare the full
extent of public funds that have been spent to support the right wing
pressure group Perkasa.
This follows the group's admission yesterday that it has received funds from government agencies such as the Special Affairs Department (Jasa), National Security Council (MKN) and National Civics Bureau (BTN).
"Perkasa is an extremist group that is notorious for hate speech and racial incitement.
"Why are government funds and resources being used to assist and promote such an organisation?" PKR vice-president N Surendran asked in a statement today.
"Perkasa's admission is shocking and without precedent. It is clear proof that Najib, Umno and the BN are actively supporting hate speech, incitement and racism," Surendran said.
"We urge Najib to urgently explain the full extent of the NSC, BTN and Jasa's involvement with Perkasa, and the amount of government monies spent on Perkasa.
"The Malaysian public is entitled to know."
