PUTRAJAYA: Politicians must be responsible when they speak about the government’s withdrawal of the appeal against a High Court decision over the use of the word"Allah" in Christian publications for educational purposes, says Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail .“Politicians must be responsible. This is an emotive issue. While they want to rake in political profit by talking about the matter, they must not ignore the facts surrounding the issue,” he said.
On May 15, the government withdrew its appeal against the High Court decision which allowed the word “Allah”, among others, to be used by non-Muslims in publications for educational purposes. On March 10, 2021, Justice Nor Bee Ariffin, who is now a Court of Appeal judge, ruled that a 1986 Home Ministry directive to prohibit the use of the words Allah, “Baitullah”, “Kaabah” and “solat” by non-Muslims was illegal and unconstitutional.
