Kerajaan Selangor memandang serius kejadian di mana polis dan Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor (JAIS) menyerbu majlis makan malam muhibbah di Gereja Methodist Damansara Utama (DUMC) di Petaling Jaya, malam tadi.
Menteri Besar Selangor, Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim secara peribadi telah menghubungi Paderi kanan DUMC, Pastor Daniel Ho dan menyatakan kekesalan pihak kerajaan negeri berhubung insiden itu.
"Saya memberitahu beliau bahawa saya telah minta Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor (JAIS) menyediakan laporan penuh mengenai insiden ini, termasuk sebab-sebab terperinci serbuan tersebut dilakukan.
"Saya berharap dapat berjumpa dengan Pastor Daniel Ho sebaik sahaja laporan lengkap ini diterima," katanya.
Menteri besar menegaskan bahawa kerajaan Selangor selalu menghormati kebebasan beragama dan hak semua pihak untuk meraikan kebudayaan dan kepercayaan mereka.
Beliau juga mengulangi bahawa kerajaan negeri sentiasa terbuka kepada perbincangan dan dialog mengenai keharmonian dan tolenrasi di kalangan rakyat yang pelbagai agama serta amat menghargai usaha-usaha meningkatkan kefahaman antara agama sekaligus menyatupadukan rakyat.

| Yuletide with the Senior Citizens CG of DUMC Thursday 20/12/2007 |
Yesterday night ( 20/12/2007) , I attended the Senior Citizens Home-E at the concourse of Dream Centre. We brought along our neighbour, Ms Yong and her friend, Mr.Ling.
Food was good and the caroling was fun. We had a good pretty,sassy and nubile violin player. There was a video show and two testimonies. The guests exchanged gifts and played games. All the old folks had fun.
In my mind, looking at the senior citizens,I know that I am approaching their state of physical and mental frame. Many were frail and weak and walked with supports and caregivers in tow. I wonder how many will be with us in Christmas 2008?
Whatever it is, 'tis the season of giving for our dear Lord, Jesus gave us his life that we may live forever more.
God Bless and have yourself a very merry, merry blessed Christmas and a bountiful New Year 2008.
