DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang today questioned why Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar have been "strangely quiet" about the seizure of 31 hymn books from a Catholic priest in Johor.

"(They) who would shoot off instant comments on matters under their purview have been strangely quiet on this issue for the past 10 days," Lim said in a statement today.
