), who claims to be a practising Buddhist, also accused Lim of attempting to incite members of other faiths as well, including Christians and Hindus.
He lodged a police report against Lim at the Jalan Patani station yesterday, accompanied by Gerakan Youth member Ooi Shyh Kheng.
Claiming to be acting in his personal capacity, H'ng said he decided to take Lim to task after his message was posted in Facebook, part of which stated:
"Even though Christians, and not Buddhists, are targeted by Umno and Utusan Malaysia this time, what is there to stop Buddhists and Hindus from being the next targets in the future?"
H'ng said this statement was meant to create trouble among non-Muslims, Umno and Utusan , which represent a large section of the Malay community.
"This irresponsible and ill-intentioned statement can jeopardise the relationship between the Muslims and non-Muslims," H'ng said in his report.
Extremists who want to create chaos
"Lately, there is a group of extremists - individuals and organisations - who hide behind masks of various ideologies and religions, like Ibrahim Ali, Lim Guan Eng, Perkasa and DAP, who want to create chaos in the country," he said.
"I am lodging this report with the hope that the police will give these extremist individuals and organisations a stern warning."
H'ng had also suggested that police take action against Ibrahim, who is Malay rights pressure group Perkasa chief and Pasir Mas MP, for declaring a crusade against Christians.
Ibrahim made the call in response to Utusan Malaysia 's front page report on May 7 that the DAP and a group of Church pastors were plotting to make Christianity the official religion of the federation and install a Christian prime minister.
He made the call for 'jihad' despite the Christian pastors' vehement denial of the Utusan report, which has resulted in more than 20 police reports being made nationwide.
The Malay daily, whose biggest shareholder is Umno, based its report on postings on two pro-Umno blogs.
