Kelantan would discourage visitors to the state if its local authorities persist with fining non-Muslims over their attire, said Tourism, Arts, and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing.
While emphasising that he was not challenging any religion in the country, the minister said the enforcement action against the woman in Kota Baru went against the religious freedom guaranteed by the Federal Constitution.“If the incident in which a non-Muslim woman was fined for indecent attire were to repeat, then it will create anxiety and severely impact local residents and tourists, thereby jeopardising the state’s tourism,” he said in a statement today.
