KUALA LUMPUR: A Malaysian politician is facing anger and a backlash over comments he made concerning the protests across the Islamic world last week in anger over an anti-Islam film that insulted and defamed Islam and Prophet Mohamed. Perak DAP chairman Ngeh Koo Ham continued to be lambasted for his remarks on his Twitter account questioning the actions taken by Muslims in protest of the ‘Innocence Of Muslims' film. Activists told Bikyamasr.com that “while he might have been well-meaning in his statements, the reality is that people are angry and the film insulted our faith. He should have known better than to do that.” Puteri Umno chief Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin said Ngeh was “rude and insensitive” to Muslims in the country when he said that they were “just wasting time and energy to show their protests over the contentious film.” “While millions of Muslims in Malaysia and across the world are angry at the anti-Islamic film, it's very unfortunate that a leader, who claims to be fighting for the multi-racial and multi-religious people in this country, can make such remarks,” Rosnah said in a statement. She said Ngeh's remarks also reflected the true colors of DAP leaders. Rosnah also lamented at the fact that none of PAS leaders protested the remark, which indirectly showed that they were agreeing to whatever statement made by the DAP leader.
