KUCHING: In the wake of the terror attacks in Sri Lanka, Archbishop Simon Poh released a statement condenming the acts.

“As I wish you Happy Easter, we are also saddened by the shocking news of the bombing and massacre of the innocent in churches and hotels in Colombo on Easter Sunday. For Christians, Easter Sunday is a very sacred celebration.

“The premeditated bombings timed to be on the sacred feast of Easter Sunday, both in churches and hotels, is to be strongly condemned. The killing of the innocent – children, women, families – especially at prayer is an atrocious crime against humanity.

“Together with the Association of the Churches in Sarawak, we have issued a statement condemning such violence and massacre, irrespective of race, creed or status. Today with our common humanity, inter-connected as one global human family, it is only appropriate that all spiritual leaders speak as one voice to condemn this terrorist act in Sri Lanka.”
