Kit Siang: Malaysians must respect all religions, but 10-year sentence over FB insult excessive

PETALING JAYA: All Malaysians must uphold the Constitution and respect all religions, but there must be no excessive punishments like the 10-year jail sentence meted against a Facebook user for insulting Islam, says Lim Kit Siang.

The DAP adviser was referring to a Facebook user who was sentenced to 10 years and 10 months jail by the Kuching Sessions Court, after admitting that he had insulted Islam and the Prophet Muhammad.
