Chan said that locking up Alister, who has no prior conviction record, with hardened criminals would be detrimental to his and the society’s wellbeing. — Picture by Miera Zulyana
The Barisan Nasional Chinese component’s publicity bureau called the sentence “excessive” against the 22-year-old man, Alister Cogia, who pleaded guilty. She said her party does not condone insults or slander against Islam or any other religion, but urged for justice to be tempered with mercy. The MCA spokesman also suggested that Alister be allowed to undergo counselling if the man who dropped out of school in Form One was found to have a learning disability.

if i'm a peaceful person & you insult me by calling me something i'm not, should i prove that i am peaceful by extending mercy or chaining you up for 10 years?
Wrong move by MCA
If the jail sentence is upheld, then it must be applied to all in Msia. The laws cannot be selective on its prosecution. Anyone duly found to hv insulted another's religion of any kind, must be subjected to this law & jail sentence.

Streram: If Harapan fields Malay candidate, it may not win RantauThe PKR GE14 candidate says fielding a Malay candidate could backfire amongst non-Malay constituents. Yeah right...still fighting hard 2b a candidate, instead of leaving it 2 wisdom of top leadership 2 decide, is it? u r right 2 say 'may not' win but if field non-Malay, 'can kiss goodbye' fm d word go. He is wrong. If PKR, Bersatu, DAP and Amanah are still as united as they were before the GE-14, Harapan will win the Rantau by-election even if Harapan fields a donkey as its candidate. Another idiot who thinks he is bigger than the party and the cause. Check yr facts. Mat Hassan held Rantau seat since 2004. And Isa Samad before him. Your argument is selfish and baseless... and sounds stupid coz you didnt do yr homework.
