“This woman (in the video) must be investigated and sentence to maximum jail to serve as lesson to all Malaysians,” Bobby said.

She also warned the Christians not to test the patience of the Muslims in the country.
Later in the video, the woman said that Islam is the Federation’s official religion and warned the Christians not to challenge her and her team to take action to close all of the churches in the country and destroy Christians.
Bobby said by making such statement, the woman had challenged the existing harmony and stability that the country is enjoying and caused anger to the people especially of those in Sabah and Sarawak who had been living in peace.
