The video above is part of a 1.5 hour speech which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAZlpwbs7V0&feature=youtu.be
Preaching is common among religion, but need to be careful on how its done. Not at expense of insulting other religion, or worse still providing wrong information. He is also in danger of being sued by those companies mentioned here for defamation, and even by JAKIM for questioning its halal status.
The crux of his speech is basically saying must support Muslim products and businesses to best of ability, as doing otherwise may be haram; directly/indirectly supporting non-Muslims; stifling Muslim business. Not sure if this strict view is their religious teaching or just a liberal interpretation.
Since MIC had its protest today and many police reports has been lodged, this guy now made an apology. Video below from his FB:
Among his points in the apology video:
1. the speech was in a closed function, for muslim only. [maybe acceptable in the pre-internet era. however God still exists in closed areas right?]
2. was uploaded without his consent, maybe (“mungkin”) with bad intention. [or maybe with good intentions to share his superb speech with other followers. Pls dont pre-judge the uploader and qualify it with “mungkin”].
3. his speech based on his knowledge [well, this is unacceptable. if not sure, then can check with authorities or the people concerned. Why deity got tongue sticking out? go ask Hindu Sangam…or would that shake your belief? or you think its perfectly acceptable to make a joke of it?]
4. some words maybe (“mungkin”) cause unhappiness among Indian community. [ yeah right, maybe will create unhappiness.]
5. Hopes this issue is not prolonged. [of course, you are busy person, got many speech sessions to do, souls to save.]
6. will ensure this thing won’t be repeated. [what “thing” won’t be repeated? recording and uploading of speeches or insulting other religions?]
According to this FB page, he is also running a religious school and is known for giving speeches, so imagine how many “majlis tertutup” would have been conducted, spreading lies and hatred. “Mungkin” kan. Need to also investigate his school. “Mungkin” got training for creating terrorists. See, I also can use “mungkin”.
Let’s see how the police investigation turns out.
If you think this is first time incident, then refer to this video:
PS: Hindu Sangam still drafting its press statement?
