00:00A government MP has expressed concern about the proposed guidelines for Muslims attending

00:06non-Muslim events, which would require organisers to obtain the permission of religious authorities

00:13before inviting Muslims to attend.

00:15Bangi MP Syarizan Johan said the guidelines would affect Muslim elected representatives

00:21invited to events at non-Muslim houses of worship.

00:25In a post, he said Muslim elected representatives who attend these events are not there for

00:30worship but to carry out their duties and responsibilities to their constituents.

00:35Syarizan said some MPs have requested to meet with Religious Affairs Minister Naeem Mokhtar

00:40to clarify the guidelines and provide their input.

00:44In a written Dewan Rakyat reply, Naeem said new guidelines were in the works to set out

00:48clear rules regarding the involvement of Muslims in non-Muslim houses of worship.

00:54Under the proposed rules, there can be no speeches or songs with religious propaganda

00:59or performances that would insult Muslims, while the premises cannot display symbols

01:03of religion other than Islam.

01:05Naeem said the guidelines will be finalised when the Muzakarah Committee of the National

01:10Council for Islamic Religious Affairs meets from February 25 to 27.
