Sanusi’s claims about the lives of non-Muslims under Perikatan Nasional are false and designed to deceive and should not be taken seriously. He has demonstrated in the Perikatan Nasional administration of Kedah that our multicultural way of life is indeed affected. Let us be reminded of these incidents:
I would like to draw attention to the cancellation of Thaipusam as a public holiday, a Hindu religious festival, which will need Hindus to take leave in order to fulfill their religious obligations. Selangor, every year hosts the biggest Thaipusam festival in the country and devotees are greeted by the government at the doorstep of the temple. Hindus from all over the country head to Batu Caves to pray.
The end of 4D gaming outlets in Kedah as ban comes into force under Sanusi’s administration.
The non-muslim woman was policed for her clothes by the local council, while this was brushed off as no big deal by Sanusi. I would like to point out that there are a lot of other issues that the local council should be concerned about rather than the outfit of its residents in their own premises.
Unlike PN, Harapan in Selangor is the true example of a multicultural Malaysia that is able to live together in peace. The state government protects and upholds the position of Islam as the formal religion without sidelining other races and religions.
