TUMPAT, Malaysia — The public, especially Muslims, have been urged by Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Zulkifli Hasan to play a crucial role in preventing the spread of deviant teachings that could potentially undermine the core beliefs of Islam. Hasan emphasized that the government has established monitoring mechanisms through a committee that collaborates with multiple entities to oversee teachings that may endanger the faith's sanctity.
The committee includes representatives from Jakim, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), the Ministry of Education (MOE), and the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE), among others. Speaking to Bernama after inaugurating an Organic Chicken Farming Project, Hasan addressed concerns over videos circulating on social media, allegedly depicting Muslims engaging in non-Muslim religious rituals.
These videos have sparked coordinated efforts between state Islamic religious authorities and law enforcement. Hasan clarified that, in specific instances, state religious authorities take enforcement action within their jurisdiction and in accordance with existing legal provisions. Jakim also works closely with these authorities to monitor the situation and ensure a proper response is made, all while respecting ongoing legal proceedings.
He strongly encouraged Muslims to come forward with any information or inquiries related to the matter to the relevant state religious authorities or Jakim, allowing for the appropriate action to be taken.
