In its latest salvo, Ikatan Muslim Malaysia (Isma) has
warned that DAP may edge Malaysia towards another racial bloodletting
similar to that in May 13, 1969.
Among others, Isma vice-president Abdul Rahman Mat Dali (right)
accused DAP of putting into motion steps to "dilute" and "alter"
Malaysia's identity from an Islamic to a non-Islamic nation.
He said the issues championed by DAP and the Chinese have the potential to destroy unity and harmony in Malaysia.
Under its 'Malaysian Malaysia' concept, he noted that DAP promoted
socialist and secular ideologies as well as equality among the races,
which go against Islam and the federal constitution.
"If this is allowed to continue, it has the potential to divide and
spark off chaos like what happened on May 13, 1969," he added.
After receiving the support of almost 90 percent of the Chinese
community, Abdul Rahman said DAP has become arrogant and bold,
constantly pushing the government for Chinese interests.
He added that they do not acknowledge or pretend to have forgotten
the social contract during Independence where the Malays "sacrificed to
accept these immigrants as citizens".
The Isma leader said the DAP leadership is challenging the status of
the Malays, claiming that they are not indigenous people of this land
and do not need to be accorded special rights.
"For example, their harsh criticism on the aid given to Malays, the existence of Mara, UiTM, MRSM, scholarships and Malay quota.
"All these hurts the Malays and what they (DAP) leaders are doing
goes against the meaning and spirit of the federal constitution," he
added in an article titled 'Between Isma and DAP, who threatens unity
and harmony?' published on Ismaweb.
Previously, Isma president Abdullah Zaik Abdul Rahman courted flak when he described the Chinese Malaysians as intruders.
