Published
The Chairman of Pakatan Harapan (PH) Sabah, Mustapha Sakmud, has urged all political parties not to exploit religious sentiment for political gain. He made this statement after controversy arose over allegations that a political figure's remarks had equated an issue with a particular religion.
According to a report by The Sun Malaysia, Mustapha believes that religion is a matter of great sensitivity for Malaysians. Therefore, religious issues should not be used as a tool to attack political opponents or to win votes. He stressed that unity and harmony among races and religions must always be safeguarded, especially in an increasingly heated political climate.
So far, the full details of the original statement and the parties involved have not been fully disclosed in the report. Nevertheless, this call reflects the concern of Sabah's political leaders regarding the long-term impact of using religious issues in politics.
In conclusion, the call to exercise caution when discussing religious matters has become an important focus ahead of the coming days. The public is expected to assess issues wisely and avoid provocation that could disrupt the nation's harmony.
