Guan Eng accuses BN, Perikatan of playing up extremist sentiments in Melaka polls | Malay Mail

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 17 — DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng today accused the Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional coalitions of playing up racial and extremist sentiments while campaigning in the Melaka state election.

“Deploying lies by appealing to racist and extremist sentiments does not hide the fact that discriminating against minorities is not only immoral and against the basic tenets of the Federal Constitution, it is also divisive and does not bring any benefits to Malaysians, including the Malays/Muslims themselves,” the Opposition federal lawmaker said in a statement.

He claimed that the past state governments under both BN and PN were not able to justify these decisions. Lim said that this is why policies targeted against non-Muslims such as the ban on the sale of alcohol in sundry shops, grocery stores and medicine shops by Kuala Lumpur City Hall. and the sudden ban on gaming number outlets in Kedah even though they are sold to only non-Muslims, were suddenly announced.
