Hishammuddin issues stern warning
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 31 — Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein yesterday issued a stern warning to any group which resorted to actions that could jeopardise public order and national security.
He was referring to the demonstration by residents on Friday against the building of a Hindu temple in Section 23, Shah Alam.
He stressed that in issues involving race and religion, the government would not bow to pressure and would not hesitate to act against those who refused to heed to such a warning.
"If such incidents are not curbed, they could result in prolonged communal tension and conflict, and I see this (temple) issue as a very sensitive issue," he said in a statement.
Hishammuddin said although there were calls for him to invoke the Internal Security Act in addressing the issue, the Act would only be used as a last resort or in a situation which could harm national security. - + selanjutnya
