Hindu coalition calls on AGC to reconsider their decision on Zamri Vinoth's case
- 5 years ago
A coalition of Hindu NGOs today demanded the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) to review its decision not to press charges against Islamic preacher Zamri Vinoth who allegedly insulted Hinduism and its followers in a ceramah in December last year.
The coalition's coordinator Arun Dorasamy said they were "very disappointed" with the Chambers's decision and has doubts about its sincerity.
Last week, it was reported that the AGC has decided not to press charges against Zamri. They had reportedly sent a letter saying this to the Hindu Agaman Ani Malaysia Association.
The letter dated July 5 signed by solicitor-general Mohamad Hanafiah Zakaria and also said that the AGC would not pursue the matter further.
Arun said the coalition also plans to send a memorandum to the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong to get the attention of the king on this issue faced by non-Muslims in the country.
