Why Perkasa will not query abuse of zakat
Malay rights NGO Perkasa has not lodged a complaint against the alleged misuse of tithes (zakat) because "this is an ongoing issue", its president Ibrahim Ali said today.
He contrasted this with the group’s reaction to a hard-hitting Christmas speech by Reverend Eu Hong Seng, "which is a national issue" that could cause "enmity and racial disharmony".
"Issues like (abuse of) zakat, the National Feedlot Corporation issue or allegations involving the Kelantan MB's son-in-law are ongoing issues affecting any government, (whether) BN or Pakatan Rakyat-led.
"I will only choose pertinent national issues, issues regarding national security and leave the others to other NGOs," he told reporters in Kuala Lumpur.
Perkasa on Dec 29 last yearlodged a report against Eu, who heads the National Evangelical Christian Fellowship, accusing him of questioning Article 153 of the federal constitution.
