SHAH ALAM, April 30 — The Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) has reminded its officials to adhere to the directives which prohibit mosques and surau from being used for political activities.
This includes mosque and surau officers as well as marriage registrars, said Jais director Mohd Shahzihan Ahmad.
This prohibition, as decreed by the Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Alhaj, is still in effect and also applies throughout the ongoing Kuala Kubu Baharu by-election campaigning period.
“Mosque officials, surau administrators, and head teachers are responsible for the premises under their control and must fulfil this duty honestly and sincerely without being influenced by any political sentiments,” he said in a statement today.
Shahzihan said that failure to comply may result in legal actions being taken.
