KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 15 — Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar asserted today that the danger posed by global terrorist group Islamic State (IS) in Malaysia is real and not an imaginary issue created by the government as a distraction from other matters.
He added that the disbelievers even included lawmakers from both sides of the political divide.
“There are still among us, including elected representatives who do not believe in IS threats. According to them, it is government propaganda,” he told reporters after a closed-door discussion on current crime trends in the country at the Royal Malaysia Police College here.
He said the police had asked elected representatives from both the ruling and opposition coalitions to help explain the seriousness of the danger posed by the militant Islamist group.
“To those who refuse to understand, I feel sorry for them,” he said.
