KUALA LUMPUR - Controversial Muslim group Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia or ISMA has trained its guns on Prime Minister Najib Razak, giving voice to the words on the lips of millions of Malaysians - reckless spending of public money too is also akin to TREASON!
“Do not betray the trust of the people who have voted for BN and Umno. Use your wisdom to manage the funds properly," Isma president Abdullah Zaik Abd Rahman said in a statement on Monday.
"Remember that wisdom does not merely involve the technicalities of management, but also ethics and compassion."
He also called on government leaders to "fear God" when doing their duty by the people.
Accept GST or you are unpatriotic!
Abdullah's comment followed a call made by Najib a day ago to Malaysians to accept the unpopular and much-resisted new tax GST.
The PM minister also warned that all those who resisted GST were unpatriotic while those who evaded taxes were traitors.
Najib's remarks sparked a furore of public indignation, as just last week he and wife Rosmah Mansor were the objects of dissatisfaction following revelations they had chalked up multi-million ringgit electricity bills at the PM's official residence and always used the government's private jet to travel although it was much cheaper by commercial flights.
Isma itself has come under public fire for its extreme statements that grossly disrespected the rights of non-Malays and non-Muslims.
Marina Mahathir, the daughter of former premier, has threatened to sue Isma should it fail to apologize and retract its statement that she was actively involved in Comango, a coalition of NGOs that recently wrote an open letter to the United Nations to complain about Najib's political insincerity, the worsening racism and religious bigotry in the country and Najib's clear backtracking on promised reforms.
