Photos of Guan Eng stomped again over ‘Allah’ issue
SUNGAI PETANI: A group of protesters stomped on photographs of DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng for the second day in a row in Kedah over his call for the word “Allah” to be allowed to be used in the Malay Bible.
Claiming to be PAS members from the Sungai Petani branch, the group protested for about 15 minutes outside the Pulau Sepom mosque in Tikam Batu near here yesterday.
The group, which was led by Noor Hasni Saad, 46, demanded a public apology from Lim over the issue.
“The Kalimah Allah controversy was due to Lim’s crude statement asking the Government to allow Christians to use ‘Allah’ in the Malay Bible.
“DAP, especially Lim, should respect the Muslims,” Hasni said.
On Friday, some 30 members of a Malay non-governmental organisation stomped on banners which had Lim’s photographs during a brief demonstration outside the Sultan Muzaffar Shah Mosque here after the Friday prayers.
The group from the Kuala Muda Masyarakat Sejahtera Harmoni Society also sought a public apology from Lim over the issue.
