KUCHING: Foreigners have no right whatsoever to wreck and destroy an otherwise generally beautiful Malaysia, said political analyst Datuk Peter Minos.
Thus, he said the government (federal government) should show the foreign bad hats the exit door for good riddance.
Minos was commenting on controversial Muslim fugitive preacher Zakir Naik who has been stirring hatred against the non-Muslim, Chinese and Indian communities in Malaysia.
“We Malaysians, at the moment face many real problems, both political and economic so why allow a fugitive foreigner to add more problems?” asked Minos.
“It does not masuk akal (make good sense) to allow him to continue to live in Malaysia and stir up communal and religious hatred unnecessarily. We all love Malaysia no matter what and so we do not want foreigners, whatever or whoever they are, to come in to stir and create troubles under any guise, especially in the guise of religion or in the name of the Almighty,” added Minos.
He stressed that with so many Malaysian Chinese and Indians, both leaders and ordinary folks, angry with Zakir, there must be something very wrong with the Mumbai-born fugitive.
“Imagine a foreigner and a fugitive coming to Malaysia and making Malaysians angry. This is unimaginable, intolerable and unacceptable,” Minos said.
He gave his thumbs up to Sarawak government for banning Zakir from entering the state.
“Why allow a foreigner, no matter how exalted, to create or precipitate troubles for us?
“Sarawak does not want foreign trouble-makers. No deal for them. It was reported that he had said insulting things against Malaysian Indians and Chinese.
“If so, this is truly bad, very bad. He should be banned from Malaysia. Foreigners should behave and respect our laws, customs and traditions while in Malaysia,” added Minos.
He said whether Zakir would be badly treated if he returns to India, where he is wanted for some crimes, was no reason for him to misbehave in Malaysia.
“If Zakir had committed a crime in India he should return and face the laws there. Why harbour him? Why protect him? It is for him to answer for his crimes, not us,” Minos stressed.
