The Malaysian Association for Promotion of the Peaceful Reunification of China has refuted allegations of being an unregistered society promoting communist ideology.
It said it has been registered as a non-profit with the Registrar of Societies, with approval being granted in 2020.
The association asserted that it has consistently complied with regulations by conducting its activities lawfully and submitting annual reports to the ROS.
The group added that it has been fostering exchanges between Malaysia, China, and the international community.
“The association's mission is to support Malaysia's adherence to the One China policy, oppose activities that disrupt social harmony, and promote positive cooperation between Malaysia and overseas entities to enhance Malaysia’s economic and social development,” it said in a statement today.
The “One China” policy refers to Malaysia’s official stance on the Taiwan issue, which is to support China’s sovereignty over Taiwan and reject claims of Taiwanese independence.
The association described the videos casting aspersions on the group as “baseless” and said it would cooperate with police investigations on the group.
Police report
Previously, former Dewan Negara president Rais Yatim had lodged a police report against the group after watching a video that claimed that it was unregistered and was “helping the Chinese Communist Party”.
Rais, who was a foreign minister from 1986 to 1987, expressed concerns that the group may have a hidden agenda and could spread communist ideology in Malaysia.
Rais YatimThe video is a Malay-language video, lasting 2 minutes and 57 seconds, and is based on a longer Chinese-language video from the same content creator that lasts 11 minutes and 31 seconds.
In addition to the issues raised in the shorter video, the longer version questioned the group’s stance on Taiwan and mused about setting up a counterpart to promote “peaceful independence of Taiwan” in Malaysia.
“I think the Malaysian government should investigate these people…what kind of society is this? They should be investigated to see whether they took money from the CCP (Communist Party of China). If they are found to have received CCP money, would that be treason?
“A normal Malaysian association wouldn't care whether China and Taiwan would be reunified or Taiwan would be independent. This is a matter between China and Taiwan, what does it have to do with Malaysia?” the content creator said.
Inspector-General of Police Razarudin HusainInspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain has warned against any effort to revive communism in Malaysia and vowed a thorough investigation of the group and its activities.
The investigation is being conducted under the Section 41 and 43 of the Societies Act 1966, Section 505(b) of the Penal Code, and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998. - Mkini
