KOTA KINABALU: The authorities must act against those who demanded that a cross be removed from the Taman Medan shoplot church in order to uphold the sanctity of all religions in the country, said Sabah Special Functions Minister Datuk Teo Chee Kang.

"We cannot allow the irresponsible few to break up our nation," said Teo, the president of Barisan Nasional component party Liberal Democratic Party.
