DAP Chairman Lim Guan Eng faced criticism for praising Liverpool footballer Mohamed Salah for celebrating Christmas, despite online backlash against Salah from Malaysian fans. Lim Guan Eng lauded Salah's courage and respect for other faiths, but netizens accused him of provoking the Malaysian Muslim community and meddling in religious matters.
After all the controversy surrounding Nga Kor Ming’s Ministry of Housing and Local Government’s Christmas celebration that allegedly involved Muslim staff members, another DAP politician is also receiving flak for a Christmas -related post.
Lim Guan Eng wrote, “An MU fan salutes you, Mohamed Salah. Being an MU fan, I would not have posted news about Liverpool Football Club’s top scorer Mohamed Salah. But, I wish to commend Mohamed Salah’s courage, openness and respect for the Christmas celebration without jeopardising his own faith as a devout Muslim.”
