Press Statement by MCA President YB Dato’ Sri Ong Tee Keat on the throwing of pig heads into two mosques along Old Klang Road, Kuala Lumpur

MCA strongly condemns provocative action of throwing pig heads into mosques

I refer to reports on the throwing of pig heads into two mosques and wish to voice my abhorrence to those acts. The actions by irresponsible individuals are aimed at creating trouble and are inconsistent with the spirit of harmony and civility of peace-loving Malaysians.

This episode is regrettable in the light of recent arrests of various suspects to assist in investigations into the attacks against places of worship. I hope that the police and relevant authorities will continue to carry out their duties in a professional and swift manner to bring those responsible to book, and to maintain law and order in the country.

All religions teach the values of understanding and peace. I urge all Malaysians to continue to be calm. We should keep up with our efforts to create understanding and respect among different faiths, and not allow the actions of a few to create dissatisfaction and spark enmity among ourselves.

Dato’ Sri Ong Tee Keat
MCA President
