Its information chief Justin Prabakaran says it is inappropriate and misleading to label houses of worship as ‘illegal’.

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Indian People’s Party (MIPP) has condemned assemblies, statements, and movements that exploit religious sentiment in ways that could threaten national harmony, peace, and stability.

In a statement, MIPP information chief Justin Prabakaran said labelling houses of worship as “illegal” was irresponsible, especially as it touched on sensitive issues involving race, religion and royalty.

Prabakaran, who is also the party’s youth chief, pointed out that many of the houses of worship currently being questioned were built long before the enforcement of existing laws and regulations.
