He therefore has little credibility now to speak for the people, they say.
The association of army officer veterans has hit out at Perlis mufti Mohd Asri Zainal Abidin for claiming that the government has failed to look after Muslim interests."Asri lost credibility for not speaking up strongly enough against Najib Abdul Razak and top officials of the previous administration when mega-scandals had disgraced our nation.Yesterday, the mufti alleged on his Facebook page that many felt Islam was being threatened under the Pakatan Harapan administration.
He also criticised the recent arrest of independent preacher Muhammad Zamri Vinoth Kalimuthu for allegedly insulting Hinduism in a sermon. Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad responded by calling Asri"deaf" and stressed that the Harapan government has done much for Muslims and Islam since coming to power.He added that even BN-era"crony projects" were allowed to continue after renegotiations.
"If these actions of the government are not considered kind towards the people, particularly the Muslims, then what are?""The reality on the ground is that Asri and his cohorts are prejudiced, sow hatred and spin lies to create uneasiness and distrust and should be stopped. "For the future of our country to be prosperous, peaceful, and to safeguard our future generations, they must start thinking as Malaysians," said Arshad.
