Sunday, 21 Mar 2021 07:48 AM MYTTelegramKUCHING, March 21 — There is no need for anybody to seek cheap publicity over the ‘Allah’ issue as it is not a problem in Sarawak, says federal Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Datuk Sri Alexander Nanta Linggi.
“The government leaders are well aware of the sentiments of the Christians because this is not something new. So there is no need for everybody to seek cheap publicity from this,” Nanta, who is Kapit MP, pointed out during a press conference held in connection with the ‘Malaysia Prihatin’ programme at a hotel here yesterday.
It said in reference to the various statements issued to the media regarding the ‘Allah’ issue, it must be made clear that the state government — from the time of former chief ministers Tun Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud and the late Pehin Sri Adenan Satem, up to the current administration under Abang Johari — the state policy on religious tolerance in Sarawak had remained consistent.
The CMO also said the Gabungan Parti Sarawak -state government would continue to defend and preserve Sarawak’s religious tolerance as it served as ‘the core unifying factor’ for the people in the state.
