Refrain From Reacting To Provocative Banners - Najib

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 28 (Bernama) -- Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has urged all parties to refrain from reacting to provocative banners hung at Penang churches as it will further aggravate the situation.

The prime minister said as peace-loving Malaysians, they should act rationally guided by the rule of law upheld over the years.

"I hope that all parties will stay calm and will not lose their composure amidst provocations by irresponsible parties," he said in his Facebook posting Tuesday.

On Sunday, banners with the message "Allah is great, Jesus is the son of Alllah" were hung outside churches in Farquhar Street, Sungai Pinang, Pulau Tikus and Gelugor, Penang as well as at a bus stop on the island.

Meanwhile, in his Twitter post, the prime minister asked young Bumiputera entrepreneurs to demonstrate their ability to initiate business by capitalising on RM100 million allocated under the Bumiputera New Entrepreneurs Start-Up Scheme or Superb.

Introduced last year, Superb provides grants up to RM500,000 to creative and innovative new entrepreneurs in strategic sectors which have big potential in the future.
