Sikhs: We don't back street protests

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysia National Sikhs Movement (GerakSikh) does not support illegal street demonstrations, as such actions would create unrest and affect the country’s image, said its secretary-general Amarjit Singh Gill.

He said such demonstrations would also affect the economy and tourism industry.

“These illegal street demonstrations portray a negative picture of the country to the outside world because Malaysia has been accepted as a multiracial, multi-religious and a peaceful country. Such actions are not in our culture,” he said in a statement yesterday.
