KUALA LUMPUR - PAS insists on a review of the nation's history in Parliament, following the controversy triggered by party deputy president Mohamad Sabu's remarks over the Bukit Kepong tragedy in 1950.
Party vice-president Salahuddin Ayub said it was urging the Government to establish a committee in the coming Parliament session scheduled for October to review the country's pre-independence history.
“It will be the party's top priority in the next (Parliament) session. If the government is sincere, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak should form a committee and we will send our historians and representatives to participate,” he told reporters at its headquarters, Tuesday.
He was commenting on Mat Sabu's alleged claim that the communist terrorists who attacked and killed 25 police personnel and their families in the Bukit Kepong tragedy were the real heroes as they were actually fighting against the British.
Meanwhile, Bernama reports that more organisations and individuals have lodged police reports against Mat Sabu over his remarks that allegedly praised communist terrorists and discredited the nation's security forces.
Two NGOs, the Malaysian Society for Former Intelligence Personnel (Baris) and the Islamic Propagation and Welfare Organisation of Malaysia (Pekida), lodged reports in the federal capital while an ex-serviceman, Wan Din Wan Mamat, 51, made his in Tumpat, Kelantan.
