The Islamist party PAS plans to take legal action against Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming for accusing them of spreading heretical teachings and blocking Christmas celebrations. This follows PAS's condemnation of KPKT's Christmas event.
PAS is planning to take legal action against the Housing and Local Government ( KPKT ) Minister, Nga Kor Ming , following accusations made against the party. This comes after PAS condemned KPKT ’s Christmas celebration held by the Ministry office.
According to a report by Malaysia Gazette, PAS Secretary-General, Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan, stated that PAS is taking Nga’s recent statements seriously, which accused PAS of being ‘misguided’, ‘spreading heretical teachings’, ‘ridiculing religion’, ‘destroying community harmony’ and ‘blocking the Christmas celebrations’. Takiyuddin described Nga’s statement as a reckless and uncontrolled emotional outburst, stemming from concerns raised by Deputy Head of the Central PAS Youth Council, Hanif Jamaluddin, about the presence of Muslims at KPKT’s Christmas celebration. He also explained further about the 2005 National Fatwa Council guidelines involving Muslims participating in events that celebrate the religious holidays of non-Muslims and the Federal Territories Mufti’s Office (Irsyad Hukum Series 818, December 24, 2023). Takiyuddin emphasized that both guidelines and legal explanations by these 2 main Islamic institutions set strict conditions for Muslims regarding this matter because it is included in matters related to Islamic aqidah and belief. He added that based on these considerations, the questions and concerns raised by Hanif are appropriate and should be handled carefully and transparently
