Protest over Bar Council Forum Regrettable

I regret the protest by a group of Malaysians, including PKR members, over the protest which caused the abrupt end of the Bar Council's forum on conversion to Islam. This include the support extended by a PKR MP to the protestors. I wish to point out that in the last General Election, the Pakatan Rakyat candidates were in the forefront in calling for respect for all religions and open debate. The Bar Council forum is an open debate which calls for various groups to engage in peaceful discussions to seek a solution to an issue which is important to Malaysians. The Pakatan Rakyat not only did not register their support for the Forum, but played a great part in protesting it.
