Publish Date: Wednesday,18 October, 2006, at 09:57 AM Doha Time
KUALA LUMPUR: A Hindu group protested yesterday outside the headquarters of Malaysia抯 top Islamic insurer after a company official forbade Muslims from extending traditional holiday greetings to ethnic Indians.Some 150 demonstrators rejected an apology issued by Takaful Malaysia in a bid to defuse the furore, and demanded it punish the official and educate employees on the different religions practised in multicultural Malaysia.
Fauzi Mustaffar, head of the Islamic law department at Takaful Malaysia, last week issued an email warning Muslim staff to refrain from greeting their Hindu colleagues ahead of this weekend抯 Deepavali festival.
Fauzi said because the festival involved the worship of Hindu deities, issuing greetings was against the tenets of Islam.
揟he email sent by Takaful is unacceptable, especially in a multi-racial, multi-cultural society like Malaysia, |
