Attorney General Gani Patail was severely criticised by Sarawak’s politicians from both BN and the opposition for deciding not to take legal action against Perkasa chief Ibrahim Ali, on his call to burn Malay language Bibles.
While a number of opposition politicians called for the sacking of the Ghani, who is a Sabahan, BN politicians said the AG’s decision seemed to contradict the government’s own principle as a nation that practises moderation.
Sarawak DAP Youth Chief Wong King Wei said that Ghani should be sacked for his refusal to take action against Ibrahim Ali. “I was really shocked with his decision,” added the lawyer and Padungan Assemblyperson.
Sarawak PKR Chief Baru Bian also called on the government to sack Gani for his lack of courage over the Perkasa chief’s Bible-burning remark.
“Gani is supposed to look after the rights and religious freedom of all Malaysians. What is wrong, is wrong,” he said, adding that that Ibrahim’s remark was certainly seditious.
