| PAS <b>Sabah</b> will not tolerate those insulting Islam – BorneoPost <b>...</b> Posted: 06 Jul 2014 04:01 PM PDT KOTA KINABALU: PAS Sabah and Muslims will not tolerate any party or individual issuing statements or comments insulting or humiliating Islam, its prophet Muhammad SAW or even other religions, said its Deputy Commissioner III, Hamid Ismail. He was referring to the offending comment on July 4 about Prophet Muhammad SAW by David Orok in his Facebook. "PAS Sabah views David Orok's comment as an insult to Prophet Muhammad SAW and Islam. I believe Muslims in Sabah and Malaysia would be very angry if they read the offending comment. I stress that PAS Sabah and Muslims will not tolerate any party or individual issuing statements or comments insulting or humiliating Prophet Muhammad SAW or Islam. The relevant authorities must act against those parties or individuals issuing such statement or comment. "On the other hand, Islam also does not allow Muslims to insult any other religion. It was believed that some groups of Muslims have insulted other religions openly and we do not agree with their actions too," he said. Orok, who was the State Reform Party candidate for the Sulaman constituency in the 13th General Election, made the comment in social media, where it was screenshot by many individuals and shared not only in Facebook but also Twitter and blogs by netizens. After the comment went viral on the Internet, Orok posted another status in his Facebook apologising to Muslims, saying that the comment was not posted by him and blamed 'irresponsible people' for posting it. Hamid, in his statement yesterday also said everyone should exercise restraint and good judgment when commenting or discussing on Islam. "You may think your opinion on certain matters is right based on your reading of a few Quranic verses and hadith. But your opinion may be wrong because you have not read the other Quranic verses and hadith concerning those matters. "This is what happened in David Orok's case. His offending comment on Prophet Muhammad SAW can be proven to be a lie, misleading and totally wrong if we refer to other relevant Quranic verses and hadith on the contents of his comment. "However, I personally commend David Orok for apologizing to the Muslims on his Facebook on July 5. It shows that he understands the effect of his comment and wishes to maintain the harmony that we have in Sabah. "I respectfully hope he can delete the offending comment and avoid from making comments of similar content again in the future if he is truly honest in his apology. I note that David Orok had posted some verses and hadith on July 5 (prior to posting his apology) to justify his offending comment. I hope he can delete that post too because I find those verses and hadith do not justify his comment," he added. Hamid also called the people not only in Sabah but Malaysia to live in peace and harmony. He said ridiculing and degrading other religions would destroy the unity in this multi-religious state. "Let's prove to the entire Malaysia that we in Sabah can tolerate each other despite our differences in race and religion. "Since PAS, Umno and certain NGOs have lodged police reports against David Orok, PAS Sabah will leave it to the police to take further action on this matter," he said. Hamid, in his statement also said that he noted David Orok had posted a status on July 5 indicating that if non-Muslims were the subject of humiliation and vindication, Muslims would not lodge a police report about it. "On this matter, David Orok may not have known that PAS Sabah, through me, had lodged a police report in December 2013 about a Facebook page insulting Christians in Sabah. The case is still being investigated by the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission," he stressed. |
| Curfew off the East Coast of <b>Sabah</b> beginning 6pm today <b>...</b> Posted: 19 Jul 2014 03:48 AM PDT KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Jalaluddin Abdul Rahman said a curfew would be enforced off the east coast of Sabah from today until Aug 2. The starting margin of the curfew, which will be from 6 pm until 6 am, would be three nautical miles from the coast off Tg Pundaras in Sandakan, Kinabatangan, Lahad Datu, Semporna and Jeti Tawau in Tawau. The stretch totals 362 nautical miles, involving an area of 121,270 nautical sq miles. "I am invoking my power under Section 3(1) of the Police Act 1967 to declare this curfew. It can sustain for not more than 24 hours. But I have written to the Home minister and he has agreed to extend the period, not exceeding 14 days," he told reporters here today. He said from then on, anyone who needed to enter or pass through the area, other than the security forces, must first obtain a permit from the district police chief. "Anyone found trespassing the curfew area would be arrested under Section 3(2) of the Police Act 1967 and charged under Section 94 of the Police Act 1967. "Anyone who entered the area and is confronted by the authorities for an inspection should relent rather than resist, which might compel the latter to use force, provided for under the law," he said. According to him, trespassers could be punished with a RM500 fine or six months' imprisonment. Jalaluddin said that the security forces could also "shoot on sight", at any intruders they knew to be involved in kidnapping or murder cases, which carry the death penalty or a life sentence. Meanwhile, he said deep sea fishermen who normally go out to sea during the night would require a permit from the district police chief just to pass through and not to fish in the curfew area. -Bernama |
