PAS lied when vowing not to interfere in non-Muslims’ lives, Guan Eng says after Terengganu bans female performers in temple
DAP chairman Lim Guan Eng has today criticised the Terengganu government’s ban on female singers at a temple jubilee celebration, citing it as an infringement on non-Muslims’ constitutional rights.
(MMO) – Lim highlighted the contradiction between Islamist party PAS’s previous promises not to interfere in non-Muslim religious practices and its current actions, describing it as “irrelevant, meaningless, and a deception”.
“What is in plain view is that non-Muslims are not only discriminated against but also denied their customary entertainment or traditional practices involving a religious festival,” said Lim.
He further emphasised that the ban infringes on Article 11 of the Federal Constitution, which guarantees the right to freedom of religion.
“Malaysians, especially non-Muslims, are now forewarned that the extremist practices of PAS can also be imposed on non-Muslims,” he added.
