Police investigates don for remarks on Selangor Sultan’s decree

(The Star) – KUALA LUMPUR: Law expert Professor Dr Abdul Aziz Bari who expressed his views over the decree made by Selangor Sultan over the Damansara Utama Methodist Church “visit” by Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) is to be investigated under the Seditious Act.

The International Islamic University of Malaysia (IIUM) lecturer is expected to give his statement to police today.

The media quoted him as saying the Sultan’s action of intervening in the issue was “unconventional”.

The Sultan had issued a statement last week that there were attempts to proselytise Muslims, but no group should be prosecuted over the controversial church search in August.
