Representatives of an NGO in Melaka today lodged a police report over reports purporting a conspiracy was afoot to turn Malaysia into a Christian state and the installment of a Christian prime minister.

More than 50 members of Persatuan Sidang-Sindang Negeri Melaka and Malay rights group Perkasa’s Melaka chapter accompanied their respective leaders as he lodged the report with the Melaka Tengah police station about 11am earlier today.

perkasa police report, melaka on pastors meeting According to Melaka Perakasa chief Abd Rahim Othman, the alleged conspiracy, if true, was seditious and went against Article 3 of the federal constitution stipulating Islam as the official religion of the federation.

Earlier this week, pro-Umno blog postings and an Utusan Malaysia report accused DAP of colluding with Christian pastors to make Christianise Malaysia.

Jelutong MP Jeff Ooi was named in the blog postings as the DAP leader who attended the meeting and joined the prayer session with the pastors, who were reportedly attending a mega-ceramah at the Catholic Christian Centre in Penang on Saturday.

Speaking to reporters after lodging his complaint, Abd Rahim said if the allegation were true, the conspiracy is an incitement to hatred against the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong and the Malay rulers as the heads of Islam in the country.

“We are concerned that this would lead to chaos and instability in this multicultural society. As the head (of Melaka) Perkasa, I lodged this report to urge the authorities to investigate what really occured.

Persatuan Sidang-Sidang Negeri Melaka was represented at the police station by its deputy chief Sidang Shaari Abu.

Shaari said he hoped that all NGOs come forward in demanding that the authorities probe the matter immediately and take the appropriate action.

"I believe that thousands of police reports will be made over the matter,” said Shaari.

Afterwards, the group marched with their banners from the police station to an open space not far away, chanting 'Hidup Melayu' several times dispersing peacefully.
