Pas, ulama council, PN dared to take action against Ahmad Marzuk Shaary

Howard Lee Chuan How (PH-Ipoh Barat) dares Pas, ulama council, PN to act against their Datuk Ahmad Marzuk Shaary (PN-Pengkalan Chepa) for likening Malaysia’s multi-ethnic society to the occupation of Palestine by Israel.

“Pas must issue a formal statement clarifying its stand on Marzuk’s remarks.

“Datuk Ahmad Marzuk Shaary must apologise to all Malaysians for his reckless and divisive rhetoric.

“Bersatu, Gerakan, and every PN component party must state publicly whether they endorse or repudiate his view. Failure to act is to consent by silence,” said Lee who is also DAP political director.

He further pointed out that Pas’ silence would mean Pas endorses the notion that non Muslim Malaysians are ‘analogues to Zionist occupiers.

“I call upon Pasleadership, the Majlis Syura Ulama, and the entire Perikatan Nasional leadership to take immediate and unequivocal action against Datuk Ahmad Marzuk Shaary, MP for Pengakalan Chepa for his recklessly seditious, inflammatory and utterly irresponsible remarks likening Malaysia’s multi-ethnic society to the tragedy of Palestine under the genocidal occupation of Zionist Israel.

“He claims that non-Muslims and non-Bumiputeras now dominate major corporations and strategic assets have long slipped away from the grasp of the Muslim community. He accuses non Bumi and non Muslim of slowly reshaping political power, and are writing new chapter of Palestinian history on Malaysian soil.

“If Pasas a party agrees with his words, then Malaysians will take your silence as confirmation that you share his belief — that non-Muslims in this country are somehow analogous to Zionist occupiers.

“But if PAS disagrees, then it must order Datuk Ahmad Marzuk to publicly apologise to all Malaysians. The same moral demand applies to Bersatu, Gerakan and every PN component party. Either repudiate his words, or stand condemned for complicity.”

Earlier today, Syahredzan Johan (PH-Bangi) too condemned the divisive statement made by Ahmad Marzuk who equated non-Malay, non Muslim participation in the Malaysian economy as equivalent to Israel.

Lee added that Ahmad Marzuk’s statement means non-Muslims would trample on the covenant that binds all Malaysians together – the Federal Constitution.

“To misuse the name of Palestine is to desecrate humanity. And to sow hatred among Malaysians is not an act of piety — it is an act of betrayal of our Palestinian brothers and sisters’ name and suffering.”
