New group with familiar faces vows to 'destroy' DAP

A new coalition known as Gagasan Kuasa Tiga (G3) has vowed to "destroy" DAP over their alleged plans to attack the constitutional position of Malays, Muslims and the Malay rulers.

The group, which claims to represent 53 NGOs, is led by Raggie Jessy, or Ragvinder Singh Jess, the author of a blog called The Third Force.

During the coalition's maiden press conference today, Raggie said the group's mission was to stop any attempt to challenge constitutional provisions for Malays, bumiputera, Islam and the Malay rulers.

Raggie (photo) claimed that Putrajaya's interest in ratifying the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (Icerd) was part of DAP's "agenda" to abolish the constitutional position of Malays and Muslims.

"Icerd is promoted by DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng and Lim Kit Siang. Kit Siang is the father of racism in this country. He is bringing the Zionist agenda.

"Icerd is a religious issue. Our country is special. If you are Malay, you are certainly Muslim. 

"Therefore, Icerd is a form of discrimination against the position of Islam in the country," he said during the group's launch in Kuala Lumpur today.

Apart from Raggie, the coalition announced that its adviser was Azwanddin Hamzah, known for his involvement with pressure group Jaringan Melayu Malaysia (JMM).

Raggie's deputy is Amran Ahmad Nor (centre in photo), who publicly criticised DAP during the 14th general election campaign despite being a member of the party at the time.

Azwanddin said G3 was not a racist organisation, and its aim was solely to protect the Federal Constitution.

"We are not racist. Our friends and neighbours are Chinese. There are Chinese businesspersons who are with (G3). We are against the 'bangsa DAP' (DAP race) who are racist and uncouth," he said.

G3 will be touring the country to explain its take on issues threatening the Federal Constitution.

Meanwhile, Amran said that "bangsa DAP" had to be "destroyed" before DAP could destroy the country.

He said that his experience within the party had led him to believe that the party would not stop at eradicating Malay special rights and abolishing the monarchy. - Mkini
