A Christian priest has lodged a police report after he found a notice purportedly by an Anti-Bahasa Melayu Bible Action Group calling all Muslims to join in a ‘Bahasa Melayu Bible burning pesta’.
Reverend John Kennady was shocked to find the notice typed on a plain piece of paper with the title ‘Jom Bakaq! Pesta Bakaq Bible Bahasa Melayu’ (Let’s burn! Bahasa Melayu Bible burning fest) in his post box this morning.
The notice, written in Bahasa Malaysia, invites all Muslims to join the ‘Anti-Bahasa Melayu Bible Action Group’ in a ‘pesta’ to burn the Malay version of the Bible ‘for the sake of the future generations’.
It further proclaimed that the group already has in its hands several Malay versions of the Bible and it urged all Muslims to join in the ‘pesta’ to burn the Bibles at a field in front of the Ahmad Badawi Hall in Bagan Luar here this Sunday morning.
It also stated that the reason they had chosen Sunday was because it is the day that Christians are in churches praying and it ended with a sentence proclaiming ‘Let’s Teach ‘Em A Lesson’.
In an immediate response, the Christian Federation of Malaysia (CFM) has condemned those behind this in an official statement.
CFM chairman Bishop Datuk Ng Moon Hing said the CFM vehemently abhors this Bible-burning action which was first proposed by Perkasa chief Datuk Ibrahim Ali.
Ibrahim had made a call for Malay versions of the Bible that contains the words ‘Allah’ and Jawi scriptures to be burnt.

Wak tak heran kalau UMNO saje yang pangkah dacing pade PRU-13 nanti. Ini Ibrahim Ali memang bagi tuah pade Pakatan Rakyat. Dah le hampir semua kaum bukan melayu terutame nye kaum cine dah tinggalkan BN pade PRU-12 yang lepas.
Segale usahe UMNO untuk mengembalikan sokongan kaum bukan melayu terhadap BN kurang berhasil, boleh di katekan UMNO gagal dalam usahe nye mengembalikan sokongan kaum bukan melayu kepade BN.
Nampak nye keadaan sokongan kaum bukan melayu terhadap BN sudah menular ke Sabah dan Sarawak pule. Harapan BN untuk mendapat sokongan rakyat Sabah dan Sarawak semakin tergugat dengan tindakan PERKASA yang mahu bakar bible versi bahasa melayu.
Mungkin Ibrahim Ali tidak bermaksud atau berniat untuk benar2 membakar bible versi bahasa melayu itu. Tatapi ucapan nye itu sudah boleh di anggap sebagai 'ugutan' kepade se setengah pehak. Kunun nya mereke akan membuat laporan polis terhadap PERKASA.
Malang sungguh nasib BN, sokong sudah membawe rebah. UMNO pasti akan menerime padah kerang ade hubung kait nye dengan PERKASA.
