The Malaysian Police today banned all functions / activities organised by any group relating to the 'Seksualiti Merdeka' programme at the Annexe, Central Market, Kuala Lumpur. They cited, it was against the beliefs of any religion in Malaysia to condone such a programme and said it was in the best interest this gay/lesbian, heterosexual, same gender marriages get-to-gather party be banned.
In case if you need to know, Merdeka Seksualiti 2011, is a five-day programme which started two days ago at the Annexe Gallery, Central Market. It calls for equal rights for the homosexual and transsexual groups such as the gay, lesbian, bisexual, inter sexual and transgender groups.
The former BAR Council of Malaysia President Datuk S.Ambiga, who is to officiate the opening of the party will be called in for questioning and to have her statements recorded.
The Police say laws in the country does not recognise any deviationist activity that could destroy the practice of religious freedom, mainly Islam.
The Police also claim they have received many protests from non governmental organisations including Islamic and non-Islamic organisations on the matter and feel such an activity that promotes same-sex activities and vice be banned.
The Police also in their jurisdiction urged members of the public not to participate in this programme as they claim it could incite or disturb public order or promote unhealthy copulation.
"Police are not against any human rights to express their opinion. But when this (programme) crops up and threatens national security, we have to take action," say the Police.
