Controversy

On 26 October 2011, while officiating at 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, and said that some Malay leftist activists were 'wolves in sheep's clothing', with the goal of making Malaysia a republic.

During the ceremony in Setiawangsa, he received the 'Perkasa Top Award', previously awarded to former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and former Chief of Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM) Ibrahim Ismail.[4]
