SIBU, May 8 — The Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate in the Sibu by-election, Robert Lau Hui Yew, appeared to be uncomfortable with religious issues brought into the campaign.
Lau believes the DAP’s approach in using issues affecting the Christian community such as the use of the word “Allah” as something unusual in Sibu.
“Religion is personal relationship between yourself and God, let us not politicise that. I am a Christian, I believe in Jesus Christ as our saviour, I believe in the Trinity,” said Lau when asked if he is doing anything specific to win over the Christian votes.
“Politics deals with human, social issue not so much about divinity but at the end whatever we do whatever we try we must be thankful to God,” he added.
“We don’t politicise religion, this has not happened in Sibu. Religion is divinity, politics is humanity,” he said when met after a dinner with the SUPP election machinery. Unquote - Malaysia Insider.com
Is it not very unusual for a partner coalition to suggest not to politize the religion issues whilst its major leading partner boss has been doing it for years?
