Bar Council: Putrajaya encouraging tensions

Free Malaysia Today

KUALA LUMPUR: Putrajaya’s inaction over the cash reward for anyone who could slap MP Teresa Kok is seen as encouraging incitement and a threat to public order.

“The Bar Council is of the view that the demonstration by the group of NGOs that day is an incitement and a threat to public order,” chairman Christopher Leong told a press conference here today.

“The fact that the authorities are dragging feet over this incident contributes to the unease that is currently prevailing in society and may even be seen to be encouraging such incitement,” he added.

Leong slammed the government as being “wholly irresponsible” for not taking immediate and firm action against the group of Muslim NGOs, who have accused the Seputeh MP’s controversial ‘Onederful Malaysia CNY 2014′ video of fanning racial hatred.
