TUMPAT, Oct 31 — The public, particularly Muslims, have been urged to play a role in curbing the spread of deviant teachings that could undermine the sanctity of the faith by promptly reporting any suspicious activities to the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim) or the respective state Islamic religious authorities.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Zulkifli Hasan said the government had monitoring mechanisms in place through a committee tasked with coordinating the monitoring and control of teachings that could affect the sanctity of the faith.
He said the committee comprised Jakim, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), the Ministry of Education (MOE), the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) and other relevant ministries.
