Furious that a MCA leader has criticised Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Mohd Jamil Khir Baharom, Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma) launched a salvo against the party.
Isma political secretary Mohd Hazizi Abd Rahman suggested that the BN party be dissolved and its members join DAP.
He was seeing red with MCA leader Gan Ping Sieu (left), who called for Jamil Khir to be dropped from the cabinet for stating that Malaysia is not a secular state.
Hazizi argued that Malaysia's identity as an Islamic state is based on facts from the historical, social contract and constitutional viewpoints.
"This is mentioned clearly in the constitution and history. But Gan
is attempting to twist historical facts.
"MCA is like a party that cannot live but refuses to die. Might as well dissolve and join DAP," he told Ismaweb.
Nobody can question this
Meanwhile, Isma president Abdullah Zaik Abd Rahman warned that nobody can question the identity of Malaysia as an Islamic state.
The vocal Islamic leader cautioned that those who did so were going overboard.
"The relentless effort to change Malaysia's identity is a threat and danger to the nation.
"Malaysia remains as an Islamic state just like before it was colonised," he added in a statement.
In a related development, the Malaysian Muslim Lawyers Association took opposition MP Oscar Ling Chai Yew (DAP-Sibu) to task for wanting to refer Jamil Khir to the Parliament Privileges Committee over his remark that was deemed "confusing".
The association president Zainul Rijal Abu Bakar stressed that Malaysia is not a secular state.
"PPMM does not see any mistakes or confusion with regard to Jamil Khir’s response.
"In fact, his answer is the most accurate made by any Umno leader," he said.
In view of this, Zainul called on Speaker Pandikar Amin to reject the DAP MP's motion.
