KUCHING, Oct 27: Democratic Action Party (DAP) Youth chief Dr Kelvin Yii has urged the authorities to probe Perak’s Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS) chief Razman Zakaria for his recent remarks.
In a statement today, Yii said Razman, during a rally of 300 people waving the Malaysian flag at the Menara Condong Teluk Intan yesterday (Oct 26), had allegedly stated: “We ask those whose eyes are like this (while pointing to his eyes), skin like this (while pointing to his skin), and blood like ours, we must unite, this is the struggle we champion.”
Following this, Yii commented that such a remark and way of thinking of a leader in PAS show how PAS is unfit to govern a multicultural and multireligious country like Malaysia.
“On top of spreading lies and slander towards the government on the purported event at Menara Condong in Teluk Intan, Perak, he (Razman) chose to resort to such statements to instigate hate among the different races of Malaysia,” Yii said.
Razman’s remarks came in response to a recent incident involving the waving of Chinese flags during the International Guan Gong Cultural Festival parade in Teluk Intan on Oct 24. The police are currently investigating the case.
Yii, who is also the Bandar Kuching MP, further claimed that Razman had previously tried to paint the Chinese community in Malaysia as unpatriotic over the incident.
“There should not even be any question of our loyalty and love for our beloved nation of Malaysia, and as a responsible leader, he (Razman) should have rallied all Malaysians to unite, not just a particular community against one another.
“We in DAPSY will make a police report against him, and I urge the authorities to carry out an investigation without fear or favour against Razman Zakaria.
“Once proven, he should experience the full force of the law for instigating hate and clearly touching on 3R (race, religion and royalty) matters,” Yii added. — DayakDaily
