Datuk Seri Dr. Anil Sandhu argues that the existing roles of ministers are inclusive enough to ensure harmony in religious practices. He cautions against the proposal by Chow Yu Hui to split the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) portfolio, stating that it could be sensitive and potentially disrupt social stability.
KOTA KINABALU: Tiada keperluan untuk mewujudkan jawatan Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri dipecahkan kerana peranan menteri sedia ada sudah cukup inklusif.
“Saya melihat peranan menteri sedia ada sudah cukup inklusif dalam memastikan semua pihak dapat mengamalkan agama masing-masing dengan harmoni. Kita harus kembali kepada Perlembagaan Persekutuan yang memperuntukkan agama Islam sebagai agama rasmi negara. Jadi, cadangan sebegitu amat sensitif. Beliau berkata demikian semasa mengulas tentang cadangan Ahli Parlimen Raub, Chow Yu Hui yang mencadangkan portfolio Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri dipecahkan kepada dua, iaitu satu untuk urusan agama Islam dan satu lagi untuk hal ehwal bukan Islam.
