雪兰莪州高级行政议员及民主行动党士布爹区国会议 郭素沁于2010年12月30日（星期四）所发表的声明： 首相纳吉迫使马来西亚基督教联合会的圣诞庆典“去 督化”，并一再否决所有国人的宗教信仰自由，他 须向基督教联合会道歉！ 在上个星期六，首相署下令马来西亚基督教联合会将 诞节庆典茶会上的所有十字架全部除掉，并禁止基 朗诵和祷告，是一项极为不尊重基督教的行为，这也 是国阵政府再次否决了马来西亚国人的宗教信仰自由 纳吉作为这场由天主教教会大主教所举办的圣诞庆典 宾，但是首相署却下达这种指令，这显示出纳吉是 么毫无诚意、虚伪及无礼。令人不禁质疑的是，纳吉 是否真的对首相署的下令毫不知情？这显然是纳吉被 发丑陋的面具后受到社会批判，才为自己狡辩。 首相署的指示已出卖了纳吉不断高唱的多元种族、多 宗教信仰的“一个马来西亚”政治宣传。若纳吉要 致以美丽词藻所堆砌的“一个马来西亚”公关论述， 那他必须以实际行动来证明。 因此，我促请纳吉公开道歉，并指示政府尊重圣诞节 传统，以及所有马来西亚公民的宗教信仰自由。 我希望纳吉及其首相署能了解，圣诞节除了圣诞老人 雪花之外，所包涵的深层意义，而这个圣诞深层意 必须受到尊重。 郭素沁
