Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak has been told to walk the talk after reprimanding certain members of the National Unity Consultative Council (NUCC) for alleged ill-intentions, by reshuffling the council's members.

"The prime minister should reshuffle the members in NUCC. The reprimand must be followed by action.

"This is what is called providing leadership direction and being firm," said Perkasa chief Ibrahim Ali in a statement today.

Yesterday, Najib reprimanded the NUCC stating that any discussions by the council should remain behind closed doors, and blamed the Bar Council for discussing NUCC matters in public.

The PM added that whether the three harmony bills drafted by the NUCC law and policy committee to replace the Sedition Act will be table, will ultimately be decided by the government.

The committee is headed by PAS' Parit Buntar MP Mujahid Yusof Rawa ( right ) with former Bar Council chairperson Lim Chee Wee as deputy.

Ibrahim lauded Najib's remarks and claimed the NUCC members had "sinister interests" while the Malay and Muslim representatives in the council would remain silent or were being made use of.

He added the National Unity Front (NUF), a body set up by right wing groups including Perkasa as an "alternative" to the government-sanctioned NUCC, will submit a memorandum the government concerning Islam, the royalty and the special privileges of Malays and bumiputera.

Malay rights pressure groups have fiercely rejected the three draft bills by the NUCC, namely the Racial and Religious Hate Crimes Bill, National Harmony and Reconciliation Bill and National Harmony and Reconciliation Commission Bill.

The draft bills are available on the NUCC's website for public viewing.

If passed, they will criminalise bigotry and outlaw discrimination, in line with the federal constitution that accords equal rights to all citizens.

New NGO not spared bile

Ibrahim also launched a broadside against Mujahid for his role in drafting the bills and for the latter's criticism against Perkasa and Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma), asking that the PAS leader be appointed as "Pegawai Barua Majlis Peguam" (Bar Council's lackey officer).

He spat bile at the formation of new NGO Negara-Ku by former Bar Council chairperson Ambiga Sreenevasan and national laureate A Samad Said ( far right and left respectively in photo ) to combat racism.

Ibrahim sarcastically suggested that he should change his name to "Sami-Him" or "Ah Him", apparently mock Indian and Chinese names, in order that he may be able to engage Negara-Ku.

"I hope one day I can have a date with Ambiga to exchange opinions.

"My name would be 'Sami-Him' and for Ambiga I will call her 'Aminah'," he said in his usual abrasive stye.

Meanwhile, in a separate statement, Perkasa secretary-general Syed Hassan Syed Ali has urged the Registrar of Society (ROS) to disallow the registeration of the new movement for using the name ‘Negara-Ku’.

Such names, he said, must first obtain the approval of the Home Ministry.

“We believe there are certain names that are prohibited from being registered as a valid organisation.

“Why do you want to use the name Negaraku? What, you think Malaysia only belongs to your tribes ( puak-puak )?

“Just find some other names. Isn’t it better to name the organisation, Anwarku?” Syed Hassan ( left ) said.

He added that anyone who claims Malaysia to be " negaraku" , must accept the fact that the special rights and privileges of the Malays and bumiputera as enshrined in the federal constitution.

“Whoever that says the country is theirs, must agree to accept Islam as the federal religion and has special rights above other religions in the country,” he said.
