Among others the posting stated that Christians in Sabah are beggars that feed on hand outs from the government.
She also stated that funds acquired by the church from the government are used for sexual rituals.
“This is totally slanderous and blasphemous as the church is an institution that’s removed from politics and racial differences,”he said.
He stressed that this is a great insult to christians and Christianity especially when she stated that Christians and our Lord Jesus are cursed.
According to him, the woman attributed her statement to the Warisan government, also stating that 10 thousands has supported her statement.

“We have never spoken ill or slandered our Muslim brothers and sisters like that. I’m sure most of our Muslim friends do not agree with her and are appalled by her ignorance.”
“We hope that this person will repent of this wrongdoing and think properly before putting out remarks like this.”
Paul said they would be lodging a police report on this matter soon.-pr/BNN
