Legislating national unity and harmony would be akin to forcing people to conform to a religion, BN's Pulai MP Nur Jazlan Mohamed said today.
Speaking to reporters after chairing the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) meeting in Parliament today, he said it was "unnecessary" for the government to legislate national unity.
He was responding to the National Unity Consultative Council (NUCC) drafting the National Harmony Bill which is set to replace the Sedition Act.
"(Harmony) should be born out of voluntary desire from the people, I think that is the problem with the country today when you need to legislate certain things that were taken for granted years ago," he said.
