Zulkifli urges public to alert Jakim, state authorities over suspected deviant teachings

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.

“We are therefore closely monitoring any teachings that could undermine one’s faith,” he told Bernama after officiating the Organic Chicken Farming Project in Teluk Renjuna here today.

He was responding to questions on several videos that went viral on social media recently, allegedly showing Muslims taking part in non-Muslim religious rituals, prompting coordinated action between state Islamic religious authorities and the police.

Zulkifli said that, in certain cases, enforcement action was taken by state religious authorities in accordance with their respective jurisdictions and existing legal provisions.

He said Jakim also worked closely with state religious authorities to monitor the situation and ensure that the matter was addressed appropriately, while respecting ongoing legal proceedings.

In this regard, he encouraged the public to come forward with information or raise any questions concerning the matter with the state religious authorities or JAKIM to enable appropriate action to be taken. — Bernama

敦帕特，10月31日讯——公众，特别是穆斯林，被敦促在遏制可能破坏信仰神圣性的异端教义传播方面发挥作用，通过及时向马来西亚伊斯兰发展局（Jakim）或各州伊斯兰宗教当局报告任何可疑活动。

总理府（宗教事务）部长祖基菲里·哈桑表示，政府已通过一个委员会建立了监督机制，该委员会负责协调对可能影响信仰神圣性的教义的监督和控制。

他说，该委员会由马来西亚伊斯兰发展局（Jakim）、马来西亚皇家警察（PDRM）、马来西亚通讯及多媒体委员会（MCMC）、教育部（MOE）、高等教育部（MOHE）和其他相关部门组成。

“因此，我们正在密切关注任何可能动摇人们信仰的教义，”他今天在特鲁克伦朱纳主持有机养鸡项目开幕仪式后告诉马新社。

他回应了最近在社交媒体上疯传的几段视频的相关问题，这些视频据称显示穆斯林参与非穆斯林宗教仪式，引发了国家伊斯兰宗教当局和警方之间的协调行动。

祖尔基夫利表示，在某些情况下，国家宗教当局会根据各自的管辖范围和现行法律规定采取强制措施。

他表示，马来西亚伊斯兰发展局（Jakim）也与国家宗教当局密切合作，监控局势，确保在尊重正在进行的法律程序的同时，妥善处理此事。

就此，他鼓励公众向州宗教当局或马来西亚伊斯兰发展局（JAKIM）提供信息或提出任何疑问，以便采取适当行动。——马新社
