PETALING JAYA: An MP from Sabah has warned the government against attempting to “out-Islamise” the opposition, saying Putrajaya will risk alienating East Malaysians.
Such attempts would also see non-Malays refraining from voting in upcoming by-elections and subsequent state and federal polls, Wilfred Madius Tangau said.“Politically, it would be dangerous for the unity government to enter an out-Islamisation race with Perikatan Nasional, which it will not win,” the Tuaran MP said in a statement. The former federal minister said the government should “treat everyone as stakeholders” when mulling any changes to sensitive issues.
