JPN warns against recycling 2023 Saifuddin wedding video to avoid public confusion

The National Registration Department (JPN) of Malaysia has warned the public against recycling a viral video showing Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail officiating at a civil marriage between non-Muslims. The video, which resurfaced on social media, is actually from JPN's Diamond Jubilee celebration in 2023 and not from a recent event.

JPN stated that recirculating the video without providing proper context can create public misunderstanding and is irresponsible. The department clarified that Saifuddin's involvement in the ceremony was part of the agency's official programme for the 2023 Diamond Jubilee celebration, and it is legally responsible for registering civil marriages under the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976.

JPN urged the public to verify the authenticity, date, and context of recordings before sharing them, emphasizing that differences in opinion should not be used to create controversy through misleading interpretations.
