Mujahid says the proposed amendments will cover not just Islam, but all religions in the country.
The proposed amendments to the Penal Code are to provide heavier penalties to those who have insulted religions, says Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Mujahid Yusof Rawa.
The amendments to the act would see more severe penalties awaiting offenders, in addition to tightening several prosecution processes, including the standard operating procedures in court. Mujahid said that the proposed amendments were not only related to Islam, but also covered other religions in the country.
“Do not mess with us, you can play politics by saying that we care less when comes to religion, you can politically say that you are the one who cares about religion, but you are playing a dangerous game here.
