Malay rights group Perkasa yesterday questioned the manner and nature in which the committee for inter-religious understanding has been formed and is to be supervised. <br /> <br />It objects in particular to Koh Tsu Koon overseeing the body in his capacity as Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, in charge of the National Unity and Integration Department. <br /> <br />Perkasa chief Ibrahim Ali (centre) told a press conference that it is not appropriate to place a body dealing with religious matters under a department for inter-ethnic relations. <br /> <br />Why is a committee that has to do with Islam under Koh? Why not under Minister in Prime Minister's Department Jamil Khir Baharom, who is in charge of Islamic affairs?" he asked.
