He additionally demanded to know because FAMA did not concede a non-Malay to cover an eventuality which was merely a programme for Bumiputra entrepreneurs.

FAMA is a supervision group as well as it should be responsible to a people by explaining this racist treatment, he said.

Yesterday, a contributor from News Straits Times (NST) was told to leave a Fama programme for Bumiputra entrepreneurs in Seberang Perai.

It is learnt which a contributor was handed a press release as well as was told which it is most appropriate which she not cover a eventuality while alternative reporters, all Malays, from alternative newspapers were authorised to attend a event.

When contacted, Fama corporate dialect executive Habibah Sulaiman explained which a situation was a misunderstanding.

We did not wish her to feel worried as it is a motivational eventuality for Bumiputras with religious elements so she might misrepresent or misunderstand it, she said

Chua did not accept this reason as he pronounced reporters cover all sorts of events as well as programmes, regardless if it is religious or not.

Even if a eventuality has Islamic religious elements, it would be a undiluted platform for non-M! uslim, n on-Malay reporters to cover so which they could learn more about a sacrament as well as prevent them from disagreement a sacrament in future, he said.

So if a programme is not to create hatred regulating shock tactics as well as alternative negative aspects against a non-Muslims, because upon earth bar non-Muslims from covering a event? he asked.

He combined which a Muslims should welcome a non-Muslims to learn, assimilate as well as conclude a sacrament to promote peace between a people of assorted secular as well as religious background.

Even non-Muslims have been invited to listen to a Friday congregration, as in a example set by Sheik Yusoff al-Qardawi in Egypt, he said.

Agro-based Industries, Rural Development as well as Flood Mitigation cabinet authority Law Choo Kiang additionally demanded to know because an rural entretpreneur eventuality could contain supportive religious issues.

They have been obviously perplexing to spin something in a event. Fama is an group underneath Agriculture as well as Agro-based Ministry as well as their job involved marketing of rural products so there should not be any elements of sacrament in their events.

There might be a little dark bulletin as well as Ive never heard of a FAMA programme which is all for Muslims or Bumiputras, he added.

He alluded which a group could have been used as a front to win Malay electorate by certain parties since a elections is near.

Government agencies should avoid political interference in their veteran duties but in this case, they have been obviously being used by their ! politica l masters, he said.

Habibah has denied which Fama had acted racist in branch divided a contributor as well as which it was done to prevent her from feeling worried in an eventuality which contains supportive religious elements.

She apologised to a contributor if a military officer who told her to leave did not handle it properly.

She additionally pronounced Fama had earlier called NST to remind them to only send Malay reporters to cover a event.

There was no racism in a programme, you only dont wish a eventuality to be misinterpreted by a non-Malay contributor as a motivational eventuality might contain supportive sentences which might hurt a feelings of a non-Malay, she said.

We only dont wish her to feel worried when supportive words have been used in a motivational session, which is all, she added.
