1 Malaysia


1Malaysia for all Malaysian





Tsu Koon : China says 1 Malaysia a good concept







A Chinese lawyer living nearby to the mosque, who had allegedly sought the help of Prime Minister Najib Razak in ordering a mosque to reduce the volume of its “azan” or call-to-prayer loudspeakers. The PM's office referred the matter to Minister in charge of religious affairs, Jamil Baharom, who then sent it to JAWI or the Federal Territories Islamic Department.




Angry at what they deem to be an insult to their religion and culture, more than 100 Muslim protesters burned effigies and demanded that the man be arrested under Internal Security Act, which allows detention without trial for indefinite periods of time.






“As a lesson to him and people like him, the government should also advise the complainant to move out to another neighbourhood or even change his citizenship to countries that suits his taste,”


Nurul Izzah is the Member of Parliament for the area, "Islam is a religion of justice, peace and the middle path. It does not condone acts of extreme hatred and bigotry. I urge all parties to exercise restraint, patience and mutual understanding," “Let us seek transparency in this matter and execrcise calm and collected reasoning in dealing with this matter."




In 2008 Teresa Kok was arrested under the ISA for allegedly asking a Puchong mosque to reduce the volume of its loudspeakers. Kok, who was released a week after her arrest, denied the allegation while the mosque’s committee members also came forward to defend the Selangor DAP chairman.




Remember the following incidence

To protest against the construction of an Indian temple in Shah Alam residential area

If writing a letter to request for the lowering of the volume of loudspeaker should be arrested under ISA, what should be the rightful punishment for this group of protesters???
