PAS accuses Minister Nga Kor Ming of spreading baseless accusations and malicious defamation after he criticized the party for their stance on Christmas celebrations.
PAS today announced its intention to take legal action against Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming , for spreading baseless accusations and malicious defamation. This follows claims by PAS secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan that the minister accused the party of being “deviant”, “spreading deviant teachings”, “exploiting religion”, “disrupting social harmony”, and “blocking Christmas celebrations.
” In a statement posted on Facebook today, Takiyuddin said Nga’s outburst came after Deputy PAS youth chief Hanif Jamaluddin raised concerns over the presence of Muslims at a recent Christmas event organised by the ministry. Hanif questioned the ministry’s sensitivity to the issue and referenced the National Fatwa Council’s 2005 guidelines on Muslim participation in religious celebrations of non-Muslim faiths. Takiyuddin stated that the questions and concerns raised by Hanif were valid and should have been addressed carefully and transparently. However, he claimed that instead of clarifying the situation, the ministry appeared to dismiss the issue entirely. “History has shown that since the country’s independence, government ministries and agencies have never openly organised religious celebrations other than Islamic ones at government premises, let alone involve Muslim officials and staff in such events,” he said in the statement
