PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has urged the public not to take the law into their own hands over places of worship purportedly built without approval.
Anwar said no individual or group had the right to act based on their own feelings or preferences, adding that the rule of law must be upheld in Malaysia.
“This country must be based on rules and law, not the whims and fancies of individuals. You have no right whatsoever to take the law into your own hands.
“The law must be respected,” he said at the Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia’s Chinese New Year celebration tonight.
