JMM secretary-general Tengku Amalluddin Sani Raja Ahmad
Sufian urged Ambiga to come clean about her actual beliefs and why it merited
such a stand.
He said it was important to understand Ambiga's stand as she
was a prominent figure of society.
"What belief drives her (Ambiga) to advocate LGBT so
seriously?
"As far as we know, divine rights are paramount and far
above human rights. This is the basis of every government administration and
the law," he said when contacted yesterday.
He also said that the laws of any country were not inherited
on the basis of human logic.
Amalluddin added that Ambiga had a duty to declare her
religious faith so that the public would be able to understand the connection
between her beliefs and her struggle for LGBT rights.
Ambiga has been under fire regarding LGBT rights since last
year, when it was reported that she would officiate a festival organised by
Seksualiti Merdeka, a movement championing freedom of sexual orientation and
identity.
The festival was subsequently banned after police reports
were lodged against it.
Prior to the Bersih rally this year, former Pas deputy president
Nasharuddin Mat Isa also labelled Ambiga "unfit" to lead Bersih and a
"threat to society" for supporting homosexuality.
Meanwhile, when contacted yesterday, Ambiga refused to
comment on the matter.
