Jelutong MP RSN Rayer claimed that independent preacher Zamri Vinoth’s Facebook post was provocative and could stir racial and religious tensions. GEORGE TOWN: Jelutong MP RSN Rayer has filed a police report against Zamri Vinoth, after the controversial independent preacher called for the demolition of a Hindu shrine near the entrance of Bukit Mertajam Hospital. Rayer, who is also the chairman of the Penang Hindu Endowment Board (PHEB), filed the report in Northeast District police headquarters here, claiming that Zamri’s Facebook post was provocative and could stir racial and religious tensions. “I call upon Malaysians who love this country as well as appreciate and value the peace and well-being of the multiracial, multi-religious rakyat in our country to file reports against Zamri to defend the peace in our beloved country,” he said in a Facebook post. Zamri had on social media backed a planned rally against the shrine, which is schedule to take place this Saturday. Earlier today, Bukit Mertajam MP Steven Sim called on organisers to call off the demonstration saying such gatherings would only “stoke the flames of hate that could destroy the country.” MORE TO COME
