Former Malaysian ambassador to the Netherlands Datuk Noor Farida Ariffin said Perkasa was often seen breaking the law.
"The Malay rights group wants to sue G25, so sue us, let the courts decide," Noor Farida told The Malaysian Insider.
She said it was better for Perkasa to seek legal recourse rather than take its grievances to the streets.
Noor Farida said she was happy that Perkasa was following the law in addressing their grievances instead of breaking it.
Yesterday, The Malaysian Insider reported that Perkasa was planning to take legal action against G25.
Perkasa was reportedly unhappy with being criticised by G25, comprising former Malay professionals and senior civil servants.
G25 had criticised both Perkasa and Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma) for their extremist struggles.
The group had expressed their concern against extremists and religious fanatics who had been left unchecked.
The 25 prominent Malays had submitted an open letter decrying the "lack of clarity and understanding" of Islam's place within Malaysia's constitutional democracy.
The letter touched as well on a "serious breakdown of federal-state division of powers, both in the areas of civil and criminal jurisdictions".
