The Movement for Change, Sarawak (MoCS) wishes to petition the prime minister, YAB Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, to remove Dr Maszlee Malik as education minister.

We have tolerated Maszlee's many blunders over the past seven months.

His recent pronouncement of encouraging religious teachers from Terengganu and Kelantan to make Sarawak and Sabah the "medan dakwah" (propaganda field or "battleground") for Islamisation has stepped on the raw nerves of the peoples in the two Borneo states.

Maszlee's statement made in the august Parliament, although he claimed he has been misunderstood, is outright insensitive and totally unacceptable to Sarawakians and Sabahans.

It is clear that Maszlee knows next to nothing about the traditions, culture and religious sensitivities of the large Christian facade of Sabah and Sarawak. His Islamic pronouncement is just intolerable.

He is unfit to be the minister of education and a downright disgrace to the Malaysian Cabinet.

Enough is enough!

We hope YAB can act expeditiously on this matter.
