Umno, the puppet master in Selangor
PAS MP accuses Umno of masterminding events in Selangor
(Free Malaysia Today) – PAS MP for Shah Alam Khalid Abdul Samad has accused Umno as masterminding two religious raids that have thrown Selangor into a state of disarray.
He said Umno, bitter over their loss of the Selangor state government, was bent on regaining its power by being the puppet master of the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (MAIS).
Khalid reasoned that the head of MAIS was appointed by the Sultan while its chairman Datuk Mohamad Adzib Mohd Isa is an Umno member.
The Selangor Islamic Religious Department (JAIS) raided the Bible Society of Malaysia (BSM) on January 21, carting away 321 Malay- and Iban-language Bibles that have yet to be returned despite an order by the Attorney-General to do so.
The second raid was carried out in the middle of a Hindu wedding with the bride being taken away for questioning because she was a Muslim convert. The Selangor government has since ordered that she be assisted to change her religious status to Hindu at the National Registration Department.
