25 prominent Malays: for real or bullshit?

Let us see how many of those 25 prominent Malays who are supposed to support moderate Islam and oppose extremism will show support and be present in court.

NO HOLDS BARRED

Raja Petra Kamarudin

Kassim Ahmad’s case goes to court again this Friday, 19th December 2014. The case details are as follows:

KLHC JR No. R2-25-119-06/2014 Kassim Ahmad v Dato Seri Jamil Khir & 3 others.

Location: KLHC RKK, Level 5, Right Wing, KLHC (NCC 8), Kompleks Mahkamah, Jalan Duta, Kuala Lumpur.

Before: Y.A. Dato’ Asmabi binti Mohamad

Let us see how many of those 25 prominent Malays who are supposed to support moderate Islam and oppose extremism will show support and be present in court.

Some say not only these 25 prominent Malays support moderate Islam and oppose extremism and that the numbers are actually much larger. In that case we should safely expect a few thousand Malays outside court on Friday to demonstrate their support for moderation.

My worry is that these 25 prominent Malays plus all those others who say they, too, share the same sentiments of these 25 are just hot-air publicity-seekers. Anyway, we will know on Friday what the actual situation is.
