Tee wants a Chinese Muslim leading Umno, PAS some day
(FMT) – Controversial preacher laments that Muslim converts are not appointed to top posts in religious organisations as racism is still rife in the country.
Despite Umno being a Malay-based party, controversial preacher Ridhuan Tee Abdullah hopes to one day see a Chinese Muslim lead the nation’s biggest political organisation.
Tee, in his weekly column published in Sinar Harian, said also he hoped a Chinese Muslim could one day be at the helm of PAS.
These declarations come in the wake of Tee’s claims that MCA would likely never admit Chinese Muslims into their party. MCA is a Chinese-based component party of the Barisan Nasional.
“MCA is racist which is why it says the Federal Constitution is racist,” he wrote, alluding to MCA spokesperson, Ti Lian Ker, who had last month said the Federal Constitution was coloured by racial and religious provisions.
Earlier, Tee said he was saddened by the fact that many Muslim organisations, including zakat (tithe) institutions, were filled with Malay Muslims. It was as if, he lamented, there were no Muslims of other races.
