Stop using mosques for politics, Selangor Sultan warns

SHAH ALAM, April 29 — In a repeat of his earlier call, the Sultan of Selangor today reminded politicians against misusing mosques as platforms for politicking.

Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah went on to describe those who continued to do so as to be in direct defiance of his Royal Decree.

Speaking further at an event at the SM Agama Tinggi Sultan Hishamuddin in Klang, the ruler of Selangor said that those who could not abide by this ruling should simply keep away from the state

Today’s statement comes after recent political speeches by PAS spiritual leader, Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat, and the party’s Selangor chief, Datuk Dr Hasan Ali, which were delivered in mosques.

The two had done so despite last week’s warning by the Sultan that mosques were an inappropriate setting for political activities and speeches.
