HATE SPEECH AND ACTIONS UNCALLED FOR AT ANTI-ICERD RALLY YESTERDAY

The Police had clearly spelled out that there should be no hate speeches or banners/posters carried during yesterday's Anti-Icerd rally.

During Hj. Abdul Hadi Awang's speech at the rally, he said :

NON-MALAYS should be grateful that they were welcomed by Muslims to Malaya despite coming as coolies, said PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang.

“The migrants were brought here by the colonialists, and it is the compassion of Muslims that accepted anyone.“How else could small families of Indians and Chinese live and be treated well in Malay-majority Kelantan and Kedah?” said Hadi as the final speaker at the “Bantah ICERD” rally in downtown Kuala Lumpur yesterday.

“But now there are political parties that want to show off with their simple majority…a victory that came from us,” said the 71-year-old Islamist party leader.

Meanwhile, there was a banner/poster carried by one of the rally-goers :




Waythamoorthy was appointed Minister by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, the Prime Minister of Malaysia. Under the normal practiced convention, the appointment of Ministers, Deputy Ministers and Parliamentary Secretaries were under the prerogative of our Prime Minister. Malaysians must learn to respect these appointment even though there are some shortcoming by any of the individuals. Remember, no one is perfect. Like what Tun Dr Mahathir said : Angels too make mistakes"


Malaysia is a multi-racial, multi-religious and multi-cultural nation, and it would be in the best interest of all of us to not to offend another race or individual. 

Let's live in peace and harmony. -Mohd. Kamal Abdullah
