JANGAN JADI MANGSA KEPADA AGEN PROVOKATOR! KUTUKAN

Serangan terbaru yang berupa kepala khinzir di dalam kawasan Masjid At-Tirmizi, Sri Sentosa merupakan satu lagi cubaan terbaru golongan tertentu dalam mewujudkan ketegangan antara kaum dan agama di Negara kita.

Tindakan yang jijik ini, yang merupakan satu lagi siri provokasi berniat jahat perlu dikecam dan ditolak oleh semua pihak demi perpaduan ummah dan keharmonian antara kaum di Malaysia.

Saya menyambut baik kehadiran hampir keseluruhan pimpinan PDRM pagi tadi yang hadir bersama saya, dan menggesa agar pemantauan dilakukan bukan sahaja di sekitar Masjid At-Tirmizi tetapi juga semua masjid-masjid serta rumah ibadat lain yang berdekatan. Siasatan terperinci wajib dilakukan oleh PDRM, dan menjadi harapan saya agar tumpuan dirubah daripada memantau ahli politik pembangkang kepada provokator-provokat or jahat sebenar yang bertanggungjawab dalam serangan-serangan sebegini.

Saya juga menggesa Kerajaan agar menubuhkan Suruhanjaya Siasatan Diraja bagi menyiasat kesemua serangan jahat terhadap rumah ibadat yang dilakukan untuk menggugat kesejahteraan dan keharmonian awam. Kita berhadapan dengan kemungkinan adanya dalang di sebalik serangan-serangan ini yang memaksa sebuah suruhanjaya bebas untuk menyiasat dan meneliti sebarang kemungkinan siapa pelaku serta penyebabnya.

Saya ingin menyeru semua pihak terutamanya rakyat Lembah Pantai agar bertenang dan bersabar dengan apa yang berlaku. Kita harus sentiasa bersatu hati dan saling percaya mempercayai antara sama lain demi memelihara ukhwah antara kaum. Saya akan turut serta dalam majlis kuliah Marghrib malam ini bertempat di Masjid At-Tirmizi untuk bersama dalam usaha memelihara ketenangan sesama kita. Sama-samalah kita berdoa untuk perlindungan dari Yang Maha Esa.

Press Statement for Immediate Release

Resist Retaliation! Condemn the Vile Attacks on Mosques

This latest attack on a place of worship, specifically at At-Tirmizi Mosque, Lembah Pantai, is yet another in the series of attempts to destroy the peace and harmony of our country by certain elements.

This vile act is meant to destroy our harmonious pluralism and our democracy. We must not let them succeed nor must we allow these cowardly actions to frighten us.
My visit coincided with that of the IGP and his leadership. I urge them to investigate this matter thoroughly and focus all their attention on combating such attacks rather than dissidents of the BN led government.

I also call upon the government to set up a Royal Commission of inquiry into such attacks. The carefully choreographed attacks are eerily similar and require an independent entity to ensure no political stone is left unturned in bringing the perpetrators to justice.
No thinking Malaysian would attack a place of worship. No religion condones such violence and we hope that all men and women of goodwill shall condemn these recent sectarian provocations.

Members of the public who have information on these incidents have a moral responsibility to come forward. Our focus is to ensure peace and calm at all time. We remain undaunted in the face of such provocations. This episode will only bring us closer together –let us prove that the Malaysian spirit will triumph in the face of such tribulations. Our country is going through a difficult time, and this is all the more reason for us to draw closer together, rather than stand apart.

I will be joining the At-Tirmizi Mosque congregation tonight. The police have also given me their assurance that the OCPD of Brickfields will also be in attendance. This is the time to work together, not stand poles apart.
