However, the party's secretary-general welcomes his PAS counterpart's willingness to engage in a discussion on sensitive topics.
The proposals include the formation of a PAS-MCA Mahabbah Committee to be chaired by PAS vice-president Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar.
"We haven't made a decision on this yet. However, this matter will be brought to the Presidential Council Meeting in the near future," Chong added in a statement issued yesterday evening. The party also welcomes a dialogue on the subject of Jawi writing instructions in vernacular schools as it involved sensitive issues in a multiracial society.
He said that such dialogue is in line with Islamic teachings under which PAS can work with other organisations, not just to fight for the rights of Muslims in this country, but also to fulfil the responsibility of ensuring justice for all Malaysians and to ensure harmony among the races.
