    Dr Zakir Naik “Muncul” Sekali Lagi Di Malaysia

    Dr Zakir Naik kini berada di Malaysia selepas menghadiri persidangan tahunan Al-Khadem di Kuala Lumpur semalam (23 Okt).

    The Star melaporkan beliau juga bertemu dengan Timbalan Perdana Menteri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi di rumahnya.

    Hari ini (24 Okt), Dr Ahmad Zahid memuat naik gambar beliau dan Dr Zakir di Instagram.

    Beliau menulis kapsyen “pendakwah terkenal” mengunjunginya.

    Laporan The Star turut mendedahkan bahawa lawatan Dr Zakir ke Malaysia adalah yang kedua ke negara itu.

    Beliau mengunjungi Malaysia pada April lalu untuk menyampaikan ceramah mengenai Islam.

    Menurut The Star, Dr Zakir juga menyampaikan satu siri ceramah di Terengganu pada April lalu, sementara ceramah beliau yang dijadual berlangsung di Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka, yang pada awalnya diharamkan oleh polis, diberi keizinan untuk meneruskannya selepas mencapai kata sepakat – iaitu menukar tema ceramah tersebut.

  • Malaysia Culture & Tourism Minister: Don’t Be Stupid And Backward, Don’t Ban Use Of “Hot Dog”

    Malaysia Culture & Tourism Minister: Don’t Be Stupid And Backward, Don’t Ban Use Of “Hot Dog”

    KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 19 — Religious authorities’ decision to deny halal certification over the word “hot dog” is stupid and backward, said Tourism and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz.

    The Umno supreme council member said it was unequivocal that the word “hot dog” did not mean the food item contained dog meat, adding that there was no reason for the Department of Islamic Development (Jakim) to take issue with the term now.

    “Hot dog has always been known to be a western food. It comes from the English language. It is a western food. Please do not make us seem stupid and backward.

    “Hot dog is hot dog la. Even in Malay it’s called hot dog. It’s been around for so many years. I’m a Muslim and I’m not offended. I’m not offended at all,” he told reporters when met outside the Parliament today.

    Jakim this week confirmed that eateries must rename the “hot dog” if the item is in their menus, if order to secure halal certification.

    A department spokesman said food items containing the word “dog” could confuse Muslims, as the animal is considered unclean by Islam.

    Nazri today rejected the argument, saying that eating hot dogs has never endangered his faith.
    “This is ridiculous. This is done by people who are ignoramuses. They are not living in the real world.

    “I think I now want to eat a hot dog now,” he said with a chuckle.

    When met by reporters here, PAS MP Nik Mohamad Abduh Nik Abdul Aziz said he has no issue with food operators using the term “hot dog” to describe sausage-based food products.

    “The issue here should not be the name of the food. Any name is okay, as long as its contents are halal but food companies cannot intentionally use names which will confuse Muslims either,” the Pasir Mas MP said.

    The issue surfaced after an executive with US pretzel chain Aunty Anne’s revealed that their application for halal certification had failed due to, among others, concerns over the “pretzel dogs” in their menu.

    The incident is the latest in the growing trend of religious conservatism in Malaysia, the only country in the world that prohibits non-Muslims from using the word “Allah” and other Arabic terms.

    Mufti Pulau Pinang: Solat Jumaat Pada Hari Sabtu Tidak Seharusnya Dibenarkan

    Kelab Suara Anak Muda 1Malaysia (SAM1M) membuat aduan polis berhubung cadangan seorang aktivis untuk mengadakan solat Jumaat pada hari Sabtu bagi memudahkan umat Islam melaksanakannya.

    Badan bukan kerajaan itu membuat aduan tersebut di Balai Polis Damansara semalam (17 Okt) dan menggesa polis dan Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia menyiasat cadangan yang kini menjadi viral yang dianggap biadab dan menghina kesucian agama Islam.

    Sementara itu, Mufti Pulau Pinang, Datuk Wan Salim Wan Mohd Noor berkata isu solat Jumaat pada hari Sabtu tidak seharusnya wujud kerana ia sudah termaktub dalam hukum agama.

    Katanya, solat Jumaat adalah hukum yang sudah ditetapkan dan tidak boleh diubah sewenang-wenangnya.

  • Lelaki Maut Ditikam Bakal Adik Ipar Setelah Semak Status Kahwin

    Lelaki Maut Ditikam Bakal Adik Ipar Setelah Semak Status Kahwin

    Seorang lelaki berusia 34 tahun ditemui mati oleh orang ramai bersama enam tikaman di tempat letak kereta pejabat Majlis Agama Islam dan Adat Istiadat Melayu Terengganu (Maidam), pagi tadi (16 Okt).

    Ketua Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Negeri, Wan Abdul Aziz Wan Hamzah berkata siasatan awal mendapati mangsa, Mohd Sukri Hussin ditikam oleh suspek yang juga bakal adik iparnya menggunakan pisau dalam kejadian kira-kira pukul 11.30 pagi.

    SUSPEK DIDAPATI SUDAH BERKAHWIN, BERGELUT BERSAMA MANGSA

    “Kita mendapat maklumat orang awam mengenai kejadian itu pada pukul 11.36 pagi. Melalui siasatan awal, suspek yang berumur 29 tahun hadir ke pejabat Maidam bersama keluarganya untuk menyemak status perkahwinannya yang berasal dari Kuala Terengganu.

    “Setelah disemak, suspek didapati telah berkahwin. Bagaimanapun suspek mendakwa dia masih bujang kepada keluarga mangsa dan berlakulah pertengkaran dan pergelutan antara suspek dan mangsa yang merupakan abang kepada bakal isteri suspek,” katanya kepada pemberita di tempat kejadian.

    Wan Abdul Aziz berkata dalam pertengkaran itu suspek dipercayai mengeluarkan pisau sepanjang enam inci lalu menikam sebanyak enam kali terhadap mangsa, termasuk di leher dan dada kiri, sehingga membawa kematian kepada mangsa.

    “Suspek kemudian melarikan diri dengan sebuah kereta dengan bantuan seorang rakannya. Suspek turut mengacu kepada pengawal keselamatan yang menjaga pagar utama pejabat Maidam dengan menggunakan pisau yang sama.

    “Polis kini sedang melancarkan gerakan memburu suspek dan rakannya dengan melakukan Ops Tutup dan kita percaya suspek dan rakan subahatnya masih berada dalam negeri ini,” katanya.

    “SAYA TAK NAK KACAU ORANG”

    Katanya pihaknya turut meneliti rakaman kamera litar tertutup (CCTV) bagi mengenal pasti suspek dan rakan-rakannya. Kes disiasat mengikut Seksyen 302 Kanun Keseksaan kerana membunuh.

    Sementara itu pengawal keselamatan, Mohd Suffian Yusof, 23, berkata beluau sedang menutup palang pagar utama apabila suspek tiba-tiba datang sambil mengacukan pisau dan berkata: “Saya tak nak kacau orang.

    “Suspek kemudian membuka sendiri palang dan terus memecut keretanya. Saya sebelum itu tidak tahu telah berlaku kes bunuh. Saya ingatkan ada kes curi kereta,” katanya.

  • Sultan Of Johor ‘Declines Offer To Be Next King’

    Sultan Of Johor ‘Declines Offer To Be Next King’

    Johor’s Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar has said he declined an offer to be the next Malaysian king because “he wants to strictly adhere to the rotation system”.

    He disclosed this in a Facebook post late on Friday night, hours after the Conference of Rulers ended a three-day meeting by choosing the Sultan of Kelantan, Muhammad V, as the next Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

    Under Malaysia’s unique monarchy system, the hereditary rulers from the nine states on the peninsula take turns to be the country’s head of state for a five-year term.

    The Johor ruler said in his Facebook posting that, contrary to social media reports, he declined the offer to become the next Yang di-Pertuan Agong because he wanted to strictly adhere to the rotation system set by the Conference of Rulers.

    He added: “Under this time-tested succession pattern, the Sultan of Kelantan is next in line, followed by the Sultan of Pahang. Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar respects and understands the rule of succession by rotation and wishes to abide by this.”

    The Johor Sultan’s Facebook post raised some eyebrows.

    “It is very rare for details of discussions in a Rulers’ Council meeting to be disclosed to the public,” said Mr Wan Saiful Wan Jan, chief executive of think-tank the Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs.

    The British-educated Muhammad V, 47, who is the current deputy king, will be the 15th Yang di-Pertuan Agong since Malaysia’s independence. He succeeds 88-year-old Kedah ruler Sultan Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah, whose reign as king officially ends on Dec 12.

    There was a surprising turn of events in the selection of the next deputy king, according to The Star newspaper.

    Perak ruler Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah, 59, was chosen as deputy Yang di-Pertuan Agong although Pahang ruler Sultan Ahmad Shah was next in line for the post, the newspaper said. Sultan Ahmad, who will soon turn 86, was seen being driven in a yellow buggy inside the palace to attend the meeting on the first day of the rulers’ conference.

    For the first time, both the newly selected king and his deputy are a generation younger than most of the other rulers, The Star noted.

    Under the federal Constitution, the role of Yang di-Pertuan Agong is mostly ceremonial. He acts as the head of Islam and appoints Cabinet ministers and senior judges on the advice of the prime minister.

    The chairman of this year’s Conference of Rulers was the Johor Sultan, but the Raja of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Tuanku Syed Putra Jamalullail, chaired the final day’s special meeting to select the king and his deputy, according to The Star.

    Voting for the new king is usually done via a secret ballot handed out by the Keeper of the Rulers’ Seal during the special election meeting. A majority of five votes is required before the chairman presiding over the meeting offers the office of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to the nominee.
