Akmal vows to file police report against See-To over alleged Quran mockery
It stems from PM's use of unique words when tabling budget speech yesterday.
The Malaysian opposition party, KeADILAN (Youth), has strongly criticized former deputy communications director of Barisan Nasional, Datuk Eric See-To, for using the Quran to mock a verse cited by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim during the 2027 Budget tabling. KeADILAN's Information Chief, Danish Hairudin, stated that political differences should not result in disrespect or violation of the sanctity of the Muslim holy book.
Hairudin emphasized that while criticizing the government and its leader is acceptable, it should be done respectfully and without reducing Quranic verses to objects of ridicule. He demanded that when political tensions reach such a level, where the Prime Minister is mocked while presenting the budget, the line has been crossed.
Hairudin urged the public to focus on the policies, allocations, and figures presented in the budget rather than attempting to disparage Anwar Ibrahim through the use of the Quran.
