00:00PAS has accused the Malaysian Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism,

00:08Sikhism and Taoism of Islamophobia after it criticized plans to place JAKIM officers in

00:13every government department, suggesting the move could be unconstitutional.

00:18PAS Secretary General Takyuddin Hassan claimed the MCCBCHST's legal interpretation is flawed

00:24and accused them of intentionally sowing discord among different faiths in Malaysia.

00:29He cited the Interfaith Council's previous opposition to amendments to the Sharia Courts

00:34Act 1965 as evidence of their alleged Islamophobic stance.

00:40Takyuddin argued that the Council's position is based on assumptions and sentiments that

00:44challenge Muslims' rights to freely practice their faith.

00:48He urged MCCBCHST to return to its original purpose of fostering inter-religious understanding

00:54and harmony.

00:55MCCBCHST had expressed concerns over JAKIM officers potentially influencing government

01:01decisions and maintained that JAKIM's proposed role could fall outside the constitutional

01:05scope of Islam as defined by the courts.

01:08However, Religious Affairs Minister Naeem Mokhtar said the officers would only be organizing

01:13Islamic religious programs and not influence policy.
