SHAH ALAM, Oct 26 — The Selangor state government will not tolerate the use of any place of worship for criminal purposes, regardless of the religion, race or background of those involved.
Selangor Human Resources and Poverty Eradication Committee chairman V. Papparaidu said he took seriously media reports about drugs being found at an unregistered place of worship in Klang during an operation by the Selangor Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department from Oct 13 to 19.
“This case underscores the need for strict enforcement to combat drug distribution and the misuse of premises.
“Places of worship should be respected, kept sacred and provide peace to their respective congregations, not be used to store prohibited substances or facilitate criminal activities,” he said in a statement today.
