PH Sabah Chairman Urges Parties Not to Use Religion as a Political Weapon
Published
The Chairman of Pakatan Harapan (PH) Sabah, Mustapha Sakmud, has called on all political parties not to exploit religious sentiment as a political weapon. He made this appeal after allegations arose concerning a statement said to equate a certain party with religious issues.
In his statement, Mustapha stressed that religious issues are highly sensitive for Malaysia's multiracial and multireligious society. He therefore believes that differences in political views should not be taken to a level that could cause division among the people.
This appeal was made while the political atmosphere in Sabah and at the national level remains heated. According to him, political parties need to focus on issues that benefit the people, such as the economy, education and well-being, rather than using religious emotions to win support.
So far, no further information has been confirmed regarding follow-up action by the parties involved. The public is advised to continue obtaining information from reliable sources before drawing any conclusions.
