YOURSAY | ‘For one thing, many Muslim countries are highly corrupted.’
Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, please do not blame others as many of these issues in the Muslim world are self-inflicted.
It is hypocritical of Malaysia to persecute and discriminate adherents of the Shia sect in our country and now invite Iran, a Shia-majority nation, to this KL Summit."They have created fear by their actions. And now this Islamophobia, this unjustified fear of Islam has denigrated our religion in the eyes of the world."Muslims are given shelter in Europe and in many other parts of the world.
Mahathir, please ask the citizens of Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, Nice, Brussels, London, Manchester, Moscow whether they think their fear of Islam is unjustified.By holding this summit, you are throwing away funds which could be used to improve the livelihood of your own “isolated” people - the lower-income group in Malaysia, especially the B40 .
But you have spent it on a summit that would be forgotten tomorrow and with no assurance that the desired results would be achieved.Yes, what’s the point? Another hundred more such events would not change a thing in the Muslim world. The only ones who will stand to lose when he steps down are the useless cabinet ministers whose own survival depend on Mahathir remaining as PM.The KL Summit, besides wasting taxpayers’ money, has been snubbed by several Muslim countries including Saudi Arabia.
