KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 24 — Serious and coordinated action by the Islamic Development Department (Jakim) and enforcement agencies is essential to eradicate deviant trends that diverge from the teachings of Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.
He emphasised that the Madani government is committed to tackling deviant ideologies that threaten the beliefs and practices of Muslims in Malaysia.
“May Allah protect us and this country from any danger or threat that deviates from and could undermine the true tenets of our faith and Islamic principles,” he said in a Facebook post after his meeting with Jakim leaders today.
Anwar said the meeting focused on issues related to Islamic affairs in the country, including the halal sector.
“This platform is vital, considering the latest developments, especially regarding the economic prospects of the halal industry domestically and internationally. It calls for collaboration among federal agencies to enhance Malaysia’s halal industry,” he added.
