Selangor MB appeals for calm, visits attacked churches

Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim today appealed for calm after visiting two churches in the state which were attacked earlier in the day,

“We call on the people to remain calm while the police conduct their investigations.” the Selangor mentri besar said.

Khalid visited the Church of Assumption here and the Metro Tabernacle Church in Desa Melawati.

He described the attacks as cowardly actions which can destroy the country’s harmony.

He said attacks on any religious places of worship are against the teachings of all religions and pointed out that mutual respect was the key to maintaining peace and stability.

The police are also urging for calm as they secure churches nationwide after the attacks which have been linked to protests against the recent “Allah” ruling.

They have confirmed three attacks; the third incident took place at the Life Chapel Church in Section 17, Petaling Jaya at 9am.

Thank you YAB Khalid, thank you PKR, thank you to your namesake in Shah Alam, YB Khalid Samad, thank you PAS! Malaysians are proud to have amongst us right thinking and rakyat caring leaders like you.

To all right thinking Malays, thank you for not taking part in a stupid protest to promote the political agenda of certain evil people! May good sense prevail and today marked the beginning of the fall of racial politics, racism and exploitation of a fantastic religion by certain people. Together we will strive and work to rebuild this country to be one that is competitively globally, not competing amongst ourselves. Let us promote better leaders and put to pasture those past shelf life ones, like the ones who started this. Together we can make a huge difference!
