Perkasa says 'no' to human rights, 'yes' to fascism!

DAP national publicity chief Tony Pua today flayed former inspector-general of police Abdul Rahim Mohd Noor who had on Wednesday suggested that the human rights movement was akin to communism and urged Malays to unite as they did against the "communist wave" because the latest "human rights wave" would undermine the country's social contract.

In a press statement today, Pua said, "If human rights can be akin to communism, then surely what Rahim is attempting to do during his speech at the 2nd Perkasa general assembly is to seed and grow the fascism movement in Malaysia."

Pua said this was consistent with the word 'fascism' defined by the Oxford English dictionary as "a belief in the supremacy of one national or ethnic group, a contempt for democracy, an insistence on obedience to a powerful leader, and a strong demagogic approach".
