This came as a result of the build-up of recent controversies such as Tan Sri Hadi Awang's statement relating to the supposed "rights" to plan the toppling of the government, the outdated "Mentega Terbang" issue (why now?), the "Jom Ziarah" programme involving the visit of places of worship by youth to promote better awareness on the nation's diverse society and the ban of religious talks in mosques in several states, which was seemingly ignored.
