Perkasa: DAP’s Sheikh Omar too ‘liberal’ for preaching job
(Mkini) – Malay rights pressure group Perkasa has accused Sheikh Omar Ali of being a “liberal” as he is a member of DAP, and hence not suitable to sit on the board of trustees of Yayasan Dakwah Islamiah Malaysia (Yadim).
In a statement last night, Perkasa vice-president Hassan Basri Muhammad said the Paloh assemblyperson’s affiliation with DAP mattered more than his credentials.
“Never in history has a DAP member been appointed as the leader of a government agency tasked with spreading Islam. DAP’s leadership is mostly controlled by the Chinese.
“It is not about his academic qualifications in Islamic studies. What is more significant is his liberal thinking, which led him to be involved with DAP.
