"The Sedition Act is not just for Muslims; it is for the protection of all Malaysians.  It is aimed at preventing any person who promotes feelings of hostility between persons or groups on the grounds of religion – whether the religion attacked is Christianity, Hinduism, Islam or any of the other faiths Malaysia is proud to be home to," said Najib in a televised interview on Thursday night.
