KUALA LUMPUR: Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek said the viral video on social media related to the issue of infidel was taken out of context, in a malicious attempt to mar her image and credibility.
"The poster was deliberately produced to create a polemic to distort the original meaning of the viral video clip, which shows me giving a speech stating that I do not allow my children to express the term 'kafir' at home. "I mentioned, that I don't allow my children to say the term 'kafir' which has the connotation of hatred towards non-Muslim citizens who live together in our beloved country."On the issue of the term 'kafir' or 'non-Muslim', it is not my intention to prohibit the use of word in the Quran, let alone denying the terms used in the Quran," she said in a statement uploaded on her Facebook account today.
"Friends advised that a police report be made for security reasons. A group of lawyers suggested taking legal and civil action against those involved. Lawyers are also gathering evidence through social media. It seems that many social media users have acted out of control including being too extreme in their reactions, " she said.
