Churches’ council slams MuhyiddinYassin over ‘Christianisation’ claim
PETALING JAYA: . In a statement, CCM general secretary Jonathan Jesudas said the council was shocked by Muhyiddin’s statement, which was made at a ceramah recently and had gone viral on social media. “This statement is not only untrue but it is irresponsible of a politician of his standing to make such a statement to the public which was carried and widely viewed on social media.“Such statements, carelessly uttered, have a tendency to create racial and religious tension and strife.
“That’s one of their long-term strategies. We might not see it now but if we’re not careful it can happen,” he was reported to have said. Muhyiddin claimed that the “agenda of these people” was to make Malaysia a part of its “colony”. CCM maintained that the sensitivities of the various communities must be considered by political leaders when addressing public forums, especially since Malaysia is a multi-religious and multiracial nation.
