五大宗教理事会（MCCBCHST）表示反对，认为此举已违宪法第5至13条文所保障的基本权利。
甫在上个月，登州宗教司沙比里语出惊人，说穆斯林不可到其他宗教场所，除非为了宣教，引起轩然大波（请看《歌台表演的后续事件发展》20240812）。
当时MCCBCHST亦发文告抗议，宗教司赶紧澄清，说需要了解穆斯林造访其他宗教场所的意图，穆斯林也需遵守某些“原则”，这样就不会被误解。
老实说我不知他要表达什么，似是而非的说词，更像是责怪他的话被人曲解，但他又没有收回他的言论。
针对MCCBCHST此次的抗议，安华指示宗教部长纳因莫达和团结部长阿伦达干与该理事会会面作出解释，听取意见并解除在这问题上的误解。
政府发言人法米指出，这显然是一场误会，有关政策自2007年来就已存在，但之后就没有委派新的Jakim官员到各部门了，他们也没有参与政策事务。
宗教部长纳因澄清，Jakim官员仅限于在各部门举办宗教活动，不涉及制订政策。
如果只是举办活动，也不需要派人在各部门长驻，难道天天都有宗教活动？
根据报道，安华首相曾在今年7月宣布，同意委派Jakim官员入驻所有部门，确保各个政府部门的决策符合伊斯兰教义，非如宗教部长说的仅限于举办宗教活动。
或可作此结论，有关措施存在已久，但都没有真正落实，显然，首相安华有意全面重施该措施，在各部门安插Jakim官员，如果没有，他大可否认，不会叫两位部长向MCCBCHST作出解释了。
又说政治宗教要分开？如今却要政府体制回教化？

I refer to the news report by The Malaysian Muslim Lawyers' Association through it's President Muhamad Hisham Marzuki dated 2 September 2024, and note the intellectual dishonesty, religious intolerance and wilful ignorance of Malaysia’s constitutional and legal history.
Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM), since 1st January 1997, has only ever been a department under the Prime Minister’s Department. It is therefore a creature of policy, not law. Nowhere does the Federal Constitution expressly constitute JAKIM. JAKIM’s existence was only ever meant to be a coordinating office, not a billion ringgit measure by the Prime Minister to have the effect of politically propagandizing a religion held sacred by a majority of Malaysia and not believed in by its minority.
We know this, and can say this with absolute certainty, because this was clearly stated in the Constitutional Proposals for the Federation of Malaya, presented by the Secretary of State for the Colonies to the English Parliament in June 1957,:
“Religion of the Federation
57. There has been included in the proposed Federal Constitution a declaration that Islam is the religion of the Federation. This will in no way affect the present position of the Federation as a secular State, and every person will have the right to profess and practise his own religion, and the right to propagate his religion, though this last right is subject to any restrictions imposed by State law relating to the propagation of any religious doctrine or belief among persons professing the religion of Islam.
…
60. If it is found necessary for the purposes of co-ordination to establish a Muslim Department of Religious Affairs at federal level, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong will, after consultation with the Conference of Rulers cause such a Department to be set up as part of his establishment.”
Indeed - that JAKIM is not set up as part of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s establishment for the purposes of co-ordination, but is set up under the Prime Minister’s Department for “development” of a religion - already demonstrates that the Prime Minister and his Government is functioning under an error; respectfully, a billion ringgit error.
Malaysia, a multi-religious and multi-racial country, cannot be united, free and democratic if the doctrines, beliefs and practises of one religion is forced, through Governmental policy, on those who do not believe in that religion. On the contrary, it will only produce feelings of ill-will and enmity between Malaysia’s different religious groups. What more when a billion ringgit budget is channelled from the income taxes of Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, Taoist and Confucionists, for apparent “development” of a religion they do not even believe in. This is tragic, and an embarrassing display of insecurity by the Prime Minister and his Government. In a 21st century world, these Malaysians imagine that schools, roads and hospitals would readily be built with that sum of money, particularly for those in rural Malaysia, instead of being wasted on pointless political propaganda.
