PETALING JAYA: DAP vice-president M Kulasegaran said the people are tired of Prime Minister Najib Razak’s hollow talk of fighting against extremism when there was no action taken against offenders.
The Ipoh Barat MP said this in response to Najib’s call to the people to reject extremism, fanaticism and rigid ideologies and continue to enhance mutual understanding and respect to maintain unity in the country.
“When Perkasa president Ibrahim Ali threatened to burn the Bibles, no action was taken against him.
“Worse, it was explained by the government that Ibrahim was defending Islam,” he said during a national-level Deepavali Open House in Malacca last weekend.
Kulasegaran said that a classic case of extremism and fanaticism that went unchecked by the PM was when Federal Territory Umno youth chief Mohd Razlan Muhammad Rafii threatened to burn down the DAP headquarters during a protest earlier this year.
“Again, no action has been taken against him.
“When there were calls to abolish vernacular schools, the only response from Najib was his assurance that the status of the schools are protected by the Constitution,” he said.
He added that action ought to have been taken against these extremists, and that mere words or assurances were not enough.
