Perlis Mufti Punish Hindu Terrorists Who Caused Firefighter Adib S Death

---

Mohd Asri claimed that there would be nothing to compel alleged “terrorists and extremists” from complying with the country’s laws if Adib’s “murderer” was not brought to face justice. (MMO) – The Perlis mufti today labelled those whose actions resulted in firefighter Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim’s death tonight as “terrorists”, and urged for swift punishment against them.
Perlis mufti Datuk Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin offered his condolences to the family of the 24-year-old firefighter.
“He was sacrificed while on duty for the country as a result of the actions of a group of terrorist. The authorities have to immediately bring that group of terrorists to justice and have them receive the appropriate punishment.
“The value of a life cannot be taken lightly,” a statement on his official Facebook account read.
“The murderer must be given the death penalty unless the victim’s family forgives. If not, the balance of justice in this life will be destroyed,” the statement said, before quoting a verse from the Muslims’ holy book al-Quran.
Mohd Asri claimed that there would be nothing to compel alleged “terrorists and extremists” from complying with the country’s laws if Adib’s “murderer” was not brought to face justice.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail had tonight said the death of Adib was deeply saddening, but stressed that the crime that caused Adib’s death was not racial or religious in nature.
Dr Wan Azizah urged all Malaysians to stay calm and not behave rashly but to let the due process of law run its course, assuring that the “heinous crime” committed by “heartless human beings” which led to Adib’s death would not go unpunished.
Adib, who was due to marry his fiancee this month, was critically injured during the November 27 rioting at the Seafield Sri Maha Mariamman Devasthanam temple.
After about three weeks of fighting for his life, Adib died at the National Heart Institute (IJN) at 9.41pm today.
His body will be brought back to his home state of Kedah tonight, in accordance with his family’s wishes.
