Forget Nancy, save the venom for Ibrahim Ali

Nurul Izzah tells Nancy critics the real culprits are Ibrahim Ali, the PM and the AG.
nancy_nurul_300PETALING JAYA: Lembah Pantai MP and PKR vice president Nurul Izzah Anwar has called for restraint in the criticism of de facto Law Minister Nancy Shukri over her explanation of the government’s decision against punishing Perkasa chief Ibrahim Ali for his Bible burning threat.
In an interview with FMT, Izzah said the critics should instead be directing their venom at Ibrahim, especially since Nancy herself had indicated her personal disagreement with the Attorney-General’s decision.
She noted that no other Cabinet minister had shown Nancy’s courage in expressing her feelings against the decision.
“The continuing vilification of Nancy Shukri must be tempered with some compassion in light of her public declaration rejecting the misguided beliefs of Ibrahim Ali,” she said.
“We must not lose sight of the real culprit, the real racist, the bigoted Ibrahim Ali and his extreme and totally unIslamic call for the burning of Bibles.”
Equally unacceptable, she said, was the Prime Minister’s refusal to take a clear stand against extremism in Malaysia despite his rhetoric on the international stage.
“It is high time that we came together in denouncing extremist views and the marginalisation of communities on the basis of race and religion,” she added.
“And it is time that cabinet ministers speak out and stand up for truth and justice where they matter before a great wrong is done and the nation is left in despair.”
Nancy has meanwhile reiterated that her controversial reply in Parliament did not reflect her personal views.
She said she was only doing her job of reading out the findings of the Attorney-General’s Chambers when she told Parliament that Ibrahim’s statement was protected by the Federal Constitution.
“As you know, in Parliament, we answer for the agency. The agency prepares the answer, not the minister,” a news portal reported her as saying.
“This is what I have done. If it is considered wrong, I am sorry.”
