KOTA KINABALU – Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Jeffrey Kitingan has reiterated that the state government will fiercely defend religious harmony in Sabah against any attempts to destroy it.
He said Sabahans are peace-loving people who have been living in harmony even though they belong to different ethnic groups and embrace different faiths.
“This is unity in diversity in its highest form which is so unique about Sabah and its people.”
The Sabah government and people stand firmly united to preserve this unity at all cost and will not allow religious extremism in all its forms and manifestations to destroy it,” he said here today.
His statement came on the heels of Perikatan Nasional and Bersatu chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin who alleged Christians were working in concert with a group of Jews to promote and Christianise Malaysia.
Kitingan, who is also Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) deputy chairman, said the people must continue to reject attempts by any individual or group who abuses religion for their selfish gain.
