Thousands march in Kuala Lumpur to defend 'sovereignty of Islam'

KUALA LUMPUR - Thousands of Malaysian Muslims marched at a rally on Saturday in Kuala Lumpur to defend the"sovereignty of Islam" following claims that their rights were being eroded by the Pakatan Harapan government.

Many were clad in white T-shirts depicting the country's nine Malay rulers and the words"Daulat Tuanku" emblazoned on it. "This rally is good to unite Malays and uphold Islam. The royalty are being insulted and so is the institution of Islam," rally participant Harun Yusof told news portal The Malaysian Insight.

The government decided not to accede to both treaties after receiving the full brunt of verbal attacks by opponents - including opposition politicians and the Johor palace - who claimed the treaty would render Malay rulers irrelevant and impact the status of Malays and Islam in Malaysia. "He is unworthy to be the Attorney-General where he allowed the rulers to be insulted," he was reported by the Malay Mail as saying.

The PH government has been hit by accusations that it was eroding Muslim rights since it came to power and appointed non-Malays to powerful positions such as the finance minister and the Attorney-General, with such claims rising in frequency in recent months.

Ha ha UMNO loses power and they are now champions of Islam and Malays true Bigotry in show
