Career

Controversy

On 26 October 2011, while officiating the 2nd General Assembly of Perkasa, a far-right organisation in Malaysian politics, Abdul Rahim equated the wave of human rights activism with communism and a new religion.

Abdul Rahim claimed that some Malay leftist activists are 'wolf in sheep clothing'. Their goal is to make Malaysia a republic. During the ceremony in Setiawangsa, he received the 'Perkasa Top Award'. The two previous recipients were former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and former Chief of Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM), Ibrahim Ismail.[4]
