As such, Saifuddin said he would appoint officers to prepare the early draft, which is expected to be ready by the end of this year, apart from going through the consultation process with the stakeholders, especially those from the industry. Saifuddin, who is also the Indera Mahkota Member of Parliament, said this at a press conference after attending a sacrificial ritual at Masjid Salahuddin Al-Ayyubi, Indera Mahkota 15, here today, which involved 40 mosques and several organisations in his parliamentary constituency.
He said that empowering the nasyid industry, which also involves songs based on spirituality, was among the issues he discussed with the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Dr Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri recently.
