Jiuhu PAP MP Insulted Islam!

[JohnTan]

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 23 — A pro-Barisan Nasional NGO today protested against DAP’s Taiping MP, Nga Kor Ming, for allegedly insulting Muslim women wearing the niqab (face mask) in a Facebook post made earlier this month.

The group gathered at the DAP’s headquarters here at about 2pm, where they submitted a memorandum to criticise the post in which Nga purportedly called women in niqab as “sakit otak” or “brain damaged” in Malay.

The post showed a picture of a Malay man in a songkok and a Malaysia Airline stewardess juxtaposed with a photograph of three women dressed in niqabs and captioned, “Do they look like stewardess?”; it was accompanied by a cartoon with a speech bubble saying “sakit otak”.

“This is clearly an extreme form of provocation and utterly rude... it is a form of insult that we cannot accept,” the group’s spokesman, Zulkarnain Mahdar, told reporters outside DAP’s main office.

The offending post could not be found on Nga’s Facebook page while attempts to contact the Taiping MP were unsuccessful.

It is believed that the post, supposedly made on December 13, was intended to mock an Umno delegate who recommended during the party’s annual general assembly earlier this month that Muslim female flight crew with local carriers be made to wear the veil.
