BUKIT KAYU HITAM: The Home Ministry will take immediate action against the local Falun Gong group if it is found that their ultimate aim is to promote political causes against any country.
Deputy Minister Datuk Chor Chee Heung said the Government did not wish to see Malaysia being used as a medium to promote certain political causes.
"The ministry is monitoring the situation,'' he told reporters after the Alor Star MCA Millennium Golf Tournament 2001 at the Black Forest Golf and Country Club here.
Chor, who is Alor Star MCA division chief, said the Government would not interfere if the group was set up just purely for the sake of promoting a healthy mind and body through breathing exercises and meditation.
He said the local Falun Gong group was a small one with most of its members in Penang.
On the golf tournament, Chor said it was held to raise funds to acquire a building for the Alor Star MCA and thanked sponsors and participants for their contributions.
Among the 104 participants were MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Ling Liong Sik, vice-presidents Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting, Datuk Fong Chan Onn and Datuk Chan Kong Choy, Wanita chief Datuk Dr Ng Yen Yen and other party leaders.
