Utusan: Azmin bowing to DAP by opening doors to beer fest
(MMO) – Umno-owned daily Utusan Malaysia has slammed Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Azmin Ali today for not rejecting any beer festival to be held in the state, claiming he appeared to be kowtowing to ally DAP.
Writing under the collective pseudonym of Awang Selamat, its editors said Azmin has gone overboard by supporting something that allegedly has been opposed Muslims.
“The reason given by him is quite shallow because the festival has been opposed by Muslims as it does not respect Islam as the official religion. Even though Azmin wants to give and take, do not go overboard.
“Azmin should not throw words around as he’s decision would appear that he is bowing to the demands of DAP leaders that have opposed the festival’s banning,” Awang wrote.
The editors also said Azmin should follow the police’s orders and not allow the festival to be held at all.
