MUSLIM EXTREMISM in Malaysia is being deliberately fanned by Najib govt - Pakatan tells Canberra

MUSLIM EXTREMISM in M'sia is being deliberately fanned by Najib govt - Pakatan tells Canberra
KUALA LUMPUR -The Malaysian government’s tacit support for right-wing Islamic groups helps foment Islamic radicalism in the country and beyond, opposition figures were reported as telling Australia’s Foreign Minister Julie Bishop recently.
Quoting PKR vice-president and Pandan MP Rafizi Ramli, Australian-based independent news website AAP reported that the issue was raised alongside other “anti-democratic” developments in the country in light of Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s possible jail sentence for sodomy.
“In an environment where the state subtly and indirectly endorses criticism and intimidation against the minorities, it is easier for the messages of radical groups like ISIS to take hold,” Rafizi was quoted as saying.
Malaysia’s recent string of sedition charges, which are based on a colonial-era law, has come under international scrutiny for targeting critics of the government.
Religious tension in Malaysia has flared over the years with analysts pointing to BN’s communal politics as a major contributor.
Australian paper Sydney Morning Herald noted that Malaysia’s backsliding democracy and growing religious fundamentalism are being laid bare by Indonesia’s blossoming progress.
The popular Joko Widodo was recently elected as Indonesia’s seventh president, while Malaysia continues under the same coalition dominated by one party, since independence.
Also quoting Rafizi, the paper said there have been instances of regressing democracy in Malaysia.
“While Indonesia is making huge progress, we are rewinding and the democratic space is going back to the Mahathir era of the 1990s,” Rafizi was quoted as saying. -Malay Mail
