Hindu activist Arun Dorasamy says the decision not to act against Muhammad Zamri Vinoth Kalimuthu could affect the integrity of the Attorney-General's Chambers. FMTNews

Perlis preacher Muhammad Zamri Vinoth Kalimuthu says the decision by the Attorney-General’s Chambers proves he is innocent.

In a letter to the Hindu Agamam Ani Malaysia group dated July 5, then Solicitor-General III Hanafiah Zakaria said the investigation paper on Zamri had been referred to the AGC and it was decided not to pursue the matter. He said the decision could give the wrong impression on the AGC’s stance on preaching methods that demean other religions.

He said Hindu groups “which insulted me as if I am insulting their religion” should retract their statements against him. Zamri was arrested under Section 298A of the Penal Code, which deals with causing disharmony, disunity or feelings of enmity, hatred or ill will on grounds of religion, and also misusing internet services, under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.
