Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who is the Perikatan Nasional's (PN) candidate for prime minister, accused Pakatan Harapan (PH) of being an "agent of Jews and Christians" who are out to colonise Malaysia
A group of Jews and Christians, who Muhyiddin claimed has already "infiltrated" the country, are plotting for Malaysia to rule through their proxy, PH, with the agenda and intent to "turn Malaysia into a colony".
"To me, this is dangerous. Does it mean there will be a 'Christianisation' process? We have heard stories before, haven't we? In Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya, there are Malays attending Church on Sundays. They have become Christians," he said during PN's mega ceramah in Parit Jawa, Johor, on 16 November.
Muhyiddin, who was the final speaker of the night, after PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang, went on to claim that while there aren't that many Christians here, their agenda and intent is to turn Malaysia into a colony.
"That is their long-term strategy. We may not see it now, but we will witness it soon if we are not careful."
Muhyiddin then warned that it would be very dangerous for Malaysia if PH returns to power.
The Bersatu president has since been criticised by the Council of Churches of Malaysia (CCM) for his "irresponsible" statement that has "a tendency to create racial and religious tension and strife"
CCM, in a strongly worded statement, expressed shock over Muhyiddin's accusations.
"This statement is not only untrue but is irresponsible of a politician of his standing to make to the public," CCM said in their statement last night, 17 November, adding, "We live in a multi-religious and multi-racial country and the sensitivity of each community must be taken into account when addressing public forums.
"Such statements, carelessly uttered, have a tendency to create racial and religious tension and strife," CCM said while urging that authorities ensure "such blatant disregard" for various religions is not repeated.
Meanwhile, PH's candidate for prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim called out Muhyiddin for making up stories for his campaign
"Muhyiddin said Christians and Jews have already infiltrated (the country). Has he run out of real issues to talk about? (He spoke about) communists, Christians, and Jews. But if they (leaders) rob, then there's no problem. I want to answer (his accusation), I am not defensive, (and) I am not apologetic," Anwar was reported as saying by Astro Awani at a PH ceramah in Bandar Tun Razak last night.
Reiterating that he fights for the interest of all Malaysians, Anwar told the crowd that if they want him to lead the country, he will "defend the Malays, Chinese, Indians, and the rights of Sabah and Sarawak".
Highlighting Muhyiddin's record in parliament — he was the worst with only 23 days of attendance out of 84 parliamentary sittings — Anwar said that he also didn't disclose his assets during the campaign.
"How do you choose a leader without knowing if he is involved in corruption or not? If he does not dare to declare his assets, simply don't support him. Muhyiddin said he has sent Bersatu's financial report to the Registrar of Societies (ROS). What does this have to do with it (asset declaration)?" he asked.
The candidates from PKR have publicly declared their assets, with Anwar, who is running from the Tambun parliamentary constituency, declaring that he has RM11.2 million in assets.
