“The speaker does not allow us to use news articles but we read the news that says if we lie or solicit bribes, these things can be justified if we use religion as a defence,” she said. Siti Zailah claimed SiS were practising values contradictory to Islam and suggested the government come down hard on NGOs abusing Islam, as it was the federal religion.
“I hope the cabinet and the ministry, in managing the funds since this is the peoples’ money, don’t go against our constitution and laws stated in the Federal Constitution that sees Islam as the national religion,” said Siti Zailah.“For me and on behalf of the Cabinet, we do indeed recognise Islam as the federal religion, this is clear in the Federal Constitution and we are not disputing this fact.
