IF YOU FEEL THAT MALAYSIA (UMNO/BN) NEEDS TO BE IN MODERATION AND STOP USING RELIGION AS A WEAPON, JOIN THESE PROMINENT LEADERS TO SHARE THIS ARTICLE AND LETTER ON YOUR WALLS SO THAT EVERY MALAYSIAN WILL BECOME AWARE OF IT... We refer specifically to the current situation where religious bodies seem to be asserting authority beyond their jurisdiction; where issuance of various fatwa violate the Federal Constitution and breach the democratic and consultative process of shura; where the rise of supremacist NGOs accusing dissenting voices of being anti-Islam, anti-monarchy and anti-Malay has made attempts at rational discussion and conflict resolution difficult; and most importantly, where the use of the Sedition Act hangs as a constant threat to silence anyone with a contrary opinion. It is high time moderate Malays and Muslims speak out. Extremist, immoderate and intolerant voices as represented by Perkasa and Isma do not speak in our name. These developments undermine Malaysias commitment to democratic principles and rule of law, breed intolerance and bigotry, and have heightened anxieties over national peace and stability. The Federal Constitution is the supreme law of the land and any law enacted, including Islamic laws, cannot violate the Constitution, in particular the provisions on fundamental liberties, federal-state division of powers and legislative procedures. All Acts, Enactments and subsidiary legislation, including fatwa, are bound by constitutional limits and are open to judicial review. Like✔---> https://facebook/MalaysianIndiansMustUnite
