“This is a serious allegation, and the outcome of the investigation should be announced to the public,” he told Bernama here today.
He said Azizan should not delay by saying he himself did not know of the alleged state government’s decision to demolish Hindu and Chinese temples.
Azizan was also reported to have said the DAP was trying to incite racial hatred towards the PAS-led state government.
Recently, Kedah/Perlis DAP chairperson Thomas Su repeated his claim that he had proof of the government’s decision to demolish some Hindu and Chinese temples.
