Welcome to freedom of expression; PR style!

 

MIC members and the Indians are upset with what Zulkifli Noordin said about Hindu religion and Ganga river during his ‘ceramah’ about two years ago. To them, what the Independent-Kulim Bandar Baharu MP did was an insult to them and their religion.
I understand the sentiment, just like when non-Muslims tried to meddle in Islam and talk nonsense about the teachings.

So, I don’t really agree with what Zulkifli said. For a multiracial and multi-religious country like Malaysia, all parties should observe a lot of caution when making statements about other faiths and race.

It has the potential to develop into a time bomb!

However, this is the culture Pakatan Rakyat introduces – freedom of speech, freedom of expression and freedom of everything. Since the stooges in PKR, DAP and PAS embarked on such freedoms, we cant help but let these things happen before our eyes.

This is what PR promised in its general election manifesto, among others, and they can be rest assured that more people like Zulkifli will make use of this freedom – if Pakatan Rakyat wins the 13th general election.

Zulkifli is not the person who started it. More than a year ago, a few non-Muslim politicians and NGO leaders whacked Islam and the mosque in their statements, inciting tit for tat when a few Muslim and Christian followers attacked mosques and churches.

Who to blame? BN government? The Opposition?

And what action can be taken against people like Zulkifli? We don’t have anymore ISA to keep and correct such people. We are even scared to take action on them, afraid of religious reprisal among those who support them.

So, where do we go from here? Let PR takes Putrajaya in the next national poll and enter a new social era of ‘multi-freedom’?
