POLITICIANS - STOP POLITICISING TUGU NEGARA

 

"Tugu Negara’s Nose And Height Not Asian Enough, Opposition MP Moots Facelift"

The Tugu Negara stands as a national memorial honouring our fallen soldiers who fought bravely for Malaysia’s independence. It’s a sacred symbol of sacrifice and unity not something to be politicised or trivialised.

Decades ago, there were already misguided claims by "holier than thou" generalizing Muslims of worshipping idols during Warrior's Day and in the 1970s, terrorists even planted a bomb that almost destroyed the monument.

One has to wonder does the MP making such remarks have any family members who once fought for this nation’s freedom? If so, they would surely understand the value of what the Tugu represents.

There are far more pressing issues that deserve attention
