Malaysiakini : PARLIAMENT | A Perikatan Nasional MP has urged the government to expedite the tabling of a bill mooted by PAS as part of the previous administration on restriction on propagation of non-Muslim religions to Muslims in the Federal Territories.

Zulkifli Ismail (PN-Jasin) said the federal-level syariah law is needed so the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) will be empowered to investigate any complaints on the alleged propagation of non-Muslim religions to Muslims.

"Will the government expedite the tabling of this control bill in Parliament, given that it is permitted to do so under the Federal Constitution?

"With no written law, complaints cannot be investigated and dealt with," he said during committee stage debates of the Supply Bill 2024, on allocations for agencies under the Prime Minister's Department.

A153 : How about a law to stop Islamic authorities from forcing kids into becoming Muslims? Oops.

P.Dev Anand Pillai : Since when have the Malays been converted to other religions in this nation of ours? Isn't it quite clear under Article 11(4) of the Federal Constitution? Isn't it common knowledge that as far as the Malays are concerned, there is no such thing as freedom of religion!

So why is there a fear that the Malays will convert to other religions? A Malay will only be able to do that if he migrates to a country which will give him asylum and allows him to denounce the religion that he came with and take up other religions, till that happens, there is no way out.

The Non Malays know what the law is and are not interested to tread into that area but it is a known fact that numerous ways and means are used to convert the Non Malays into the faith. Why isn't that a cause of concern?

As leaders chosen by the people, please learn to concentrate on creating jobs for the young, better health care for the aged, freeing the education system from the clutches of those with hidden agendas and returning to our agricultural roots so that we can reduce food imports and bring down living costs.

Spirituality in an empty stomach without much gainful activity to earn a living isn't going to make us saints, instead it will create more hypocrites. Let us wise up and learn from our mistakes.

Sealthedeal : But it's OK to convert children unilaterally? If these lebai's want a one way street, conversion to Islam should also be made illegal. That can't have it all their own way. How ridiculous.
