Jakim akan panggil individu sertai ratu cantik transgender di Bangkok
Ketua Pengarah Jakim Sirajuddin Suhaimee berkata tindakan itu berpandukan undang-undang dan peraturan yang berkuat kuasa.
Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (Jakim) plans to summon the individual who participated in the transgender beauty pageant in Bangkok, Thailand, as per recent social media reports. Sirajuddin Suhaimee, the Jakim Deputy Chairman, stated that such involvement is deeply regrettable and has caused public concern. The Jakim chief emphasized that the action is contrary to Islamic values, human dignity, and national laws.
Previously, a video emerged of a participant claiming to be a Malaysian transgender woman competing in the event, which sparked accusations of the pageant's legitimacy being held in Penang. However, Mufti of Penang Mohd Sukki Othman dismissed the accusations, claiming the event took place in Bangkok. According to him, records showed that the organizers listed a participant with a Malaysian name in the competition.
Recently, Deputy Prime Minister on Islamic Affairs Zulkifli Hasan strongly condemned the individual's actions, calling them a disgrace to the nation and clearly against Islamic teachings, local cultural norms, and Malaysian public values.
