KUCHING: Sarawak does not welcome Pertubuhan Pribumi Perkasa Malaysia (Perkasa), a NGO advocating the supremacy of the Malays.
Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) president Tan Sri Dr James Masing said the ideologies of the extreme Malay organisation had no place in a multiracial society like Sarawak and that their presence would only create tensions and problems.
Masing who is also Land Development Minister and Baleh assemblyman added that it was unnecessary for Perkasa to spread to the state since there was no threat to the dignity of the Malay society.
“Perkasa is a Malay organisation that upholds the rights and dignity of the Malays. However, it is not necessary for Perkasa to extend its wing here because the dignity of the local Malay community is well protected. Furthermore, the other multiracial communities in the state had no problem with their Malay counterpart.
“The Malays can stand on their own feet. They do not need people like Ibrahim Ali (Perkasa president) fight for them ,” Masing told reporters when met at the lobby of the State Legislative Assembly (DUN) complex on the first day of sitting here yesterday.
