Umno advisory council chairman Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah tells party members to oppose those who threaten the peace by insulting race, religion and the Malay rulers. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, August 4, 2019.

THE Pakatan Harapan government seems unable to prevent sensitive issues of race and religion from flaring up, Umno advisory council chairman Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah said.

He said this was because none of the four parties in the ruling coalition had enough parliamentary power to make decisions.

“The government has no capacity to control issues like these because it is like a ‘hanging’ government. It doesn’t have a party that has a decisive majority in Parliament.

“As such, there is no one to set the direction whether at state or federal level,” Tengku Razaleigh said when opening the Bagan Datuk Umno division meeting today.

He said the recent case of Facebook user Wendy Loong insulting the Prophet was an example of the government’s lack of control.

Police have determined that it is a fake account.

Tengku Razaleigh, who is the Gua Musang MP, said party members should oppose those who threatened the peace by insulting race, religion and the Malay rulers.

“There are those trying to test the fabric of societal harmony. They are being seditious by using race and religion (to incite anger). This is a test for us.

“Are we just going to let this happen? Recently there was someone who insulted the Prophet. We ought to oppose such people wherever they are from.” – August 4, 2019.

  • Who started the 3 R incitement? It was UMNO since 1969 and now they have been joined by PAS after GE14? How do you control when most of the racist statements and religious bigotry are coming from UMNO and PAS supporters and various right-wing Malay NGOs associated to them that have sprung up like mushrooms after GE14? For all you know Wendy Loong is a Malay right-wing instigator.

  • What a load of disinformation. The government has a solid majority if not 2/3 . The government should in any case not be in control of race or religion but of the laws to prevent hate speech, slander or discrimination.
