民青团抨击土权“焚烧马来版圣经”言论,刘华才促唾弃玩弄宗教课题政客

（1月23日）针对近日频频传出的一些有心人士玩弄宗教课题而引发种族之间的不安情绪，民青团总秘书刘华才博士今日发表文告深表遗憾与强烈不满。

"我认为宗教课题有必要由相关宗教团体或单位作出诠释和表明立场，不应该由政治人物或不负责任的政客来发表各自的言论，让事态越演越烈，变本加厉，导致影响我国社会各族间和谐共处的情况。"

刘华才也同时抨击土权主席依布拉欣阿里所发表的"焚烧马来版圣经"言论。并表示民青团对于依布拉欣阿里这种不负责任的言论与行为感到极度愤怒与不满，这明显在破坏我国多年来所艰辛建立起来的种族和谐与融洽。

"我呼吁选民在来届大选唾弃这些不负责任的政治人物，以选票对他们表示抗议。他们这种煽动种族不安情绪的行为，根本不符合成为人民可托付的代议士。"

他也同时表示人民应该好好把握手中的一票，在即将来临的全国大选，选出可以被委托的人民代议士，拒绝让这些爱发表煽动性言论的不负责任人物当选。

Gerakan Youth condemns Perkasa's bible-burning remarks

Dominic Lau urges that politicians who play up religious issues to be spurned

Press statement by Gerakan Youth Secretary General

Dr. Dominic Lau Hoe Chai

23 January 2013

Recently there are rumours about some unscrupulous people play up religious issues in order to create uneasiness among the races, Gerakan Youth Secretary General Dr. Dominic Lau is deeply regretted and expressed his strong dissatisfaction in a statement issued today.

"I think religious topics are best interpreted and explained by religious organisations, it should not be freely debated by political figures or any irresponsible politicians, further intensifying the situation and affecting the racial harmony within our society."

Dr. Dominic Lau also rapped Perkasa Chairman Ibrahim Ali for uttering the remarks of "burning the Malay bible." He also commented that Gerakan Youth is furious and strongly dissatisfied over his irresponsible remarks and erratic behaviour. Obviously, it is undermining the country's racial harmony that we have built for years.

"I urge the voters to spurn this kind of irresponsible politicians, to express their outcry through the ballot box in the coming general elections. Their actions in instigating the uneasiness between the races simply do not qualify them as the representatives that the people can entrust upon.

At the same time, he also said that the people should make good use of the ballot in their hands, to cast their votes for the candidates that are trustworthy and stop allowing this kind of irresponsible politicians who always utter seditious remarks from being elected.
