PETALING JAYA: Deputy religious affairs minister Marhamah Rosli has rejected calls to resign over content she published in 2019 that had been linked to New Age teachings.

She emphasised she would only do so if claims that she had led people astray were proven in court.

“I will only resign if it is proven that I have led people astray, that people have been led astray. Prove it in court,” she said after an event here today.

Marhamah had recently faced calls from Amanah and PAS to be suspended as deputy religious affairs minister or to step down over allegations sparked by a recirculated screenshot of a Facebook post she published in September 2019.
