KUCHING: Chief Political Secretary to the Chief Minister, Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah praised the Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Youth wing for lodging a police report against Radio Free Sarawak.
He said the movement had done a justified act because its members were trying to fight an evil cause aimed at creating disunity among the ‘rakyat’.
“It is my hope that Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), Home Ministry (KDN) and police would investigate and (subsequently) take action against those involved,” he said when met during the BN Convention at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) yesterday.
He pointed out that all parties should be united in protecting the racial harmony that is being enjoyed by all.
The PBB youth wing led by its youth vice chief Pandi Suhaili lodged a police report against the radio station at the Simpang Tiga Police station last Friday.
Pandi, when interviewed at the police station, said the wing was responding to a statement made by the Deputy Minister of Information, Communication and Culture Datuk Joseph Salang that MCMC could take action against the radio station if a report were lodged with the police.
“The rakyat feel uneasy (with the radio station) because they know it is operating illegally. It is not good for the country because Malaysia is multi-racial and its existence hinges on mutual respect among its citizens,” said Pandi.
Youth members from more than 10 PBB branches in the state turned up at the police station as a show of support for the decision
