PM Calls For Calm In Wake Of Penang Church Bombing

The Prime Minister has a new favourite question: can’t we all just get along?

Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is calling for calm on all sides in the wake of Sunday’s attack on the Church of the Assumption in Lebuh Farquhar, Penang. Two Molotov cocktails were hurled into the church grounds early Sunday morning after a controversial banner with the word “Allah” was found outside the building. The church has denied putting up the banner.

Datuk Seri  Najib said, “As the Government, peace and harmony is our priority and we will do what we can to preserve it based on the rule of law.

“Any action to be taken must be done according to the rule of law. I hope that nobody will react hastily and make matters worse as it is up to the authorities to handle the situation,” Najib told reporters after launching the “Maps of Malaya and Borneo: Discovery, Statehood and Progress” book at the Concorde Hotel here yesterday.
