Farouk A. Peru's open letter to Messrs. Lim of DAP

'Dear Mr Lim Kit Siang and Mr Lim Guan Eng,

Please allow me to congratulate you over being decisive over the PAS issue and finally putting Pakatan Rakyat to sleep. I have been an admirer of the DAP for a long time, particularly your political culture. I feel that you have developed political thinking more than Umno and PAS combined.'

'You see, even though I am a Malay-Muslim myself, I unequivocally reject the notion of “Bumiputera” and “Ketuanan Melayu”. I find these notions to be appalling and abhorrent because we are all sons and daughters of this land. To exclude anyone based on race goes against my ethos as a Muslim. I also question the official views on Islam and especially oppressive policies in the name of Islam which I term “Islamofascism”. These positions have earned me the wrath of my fellow Malay-Muslims and I expect you as the only party which has officially espoused secularism should stand up for the rights of dissenting Malay-Muslims such as myself.'
