PETALING JAYA: Lawyer and activist Siti Kasim has raised objections on Dr Maszlee Malik’s appointment as Education Minister, questioning his stance as a “progressive Muslim”.
“His stand is not acceptance but tolerance. Maybe that is enough for some people but when people talk about tolerating a necessary evil and they are referring to marginalised communities and non-Muslims, the line should be drawn there,” she said on a Facebook post on Saturday (May 18).
