00:00PAS says it would take legal action against Nga Korming for his cowardly accusations when
00:07he criticized the party for their stance against a Christmas celebration at his ministry.
00:14PAS Secretary General Takiyudin Hassan claimed that Nga accused the party of spreading deviant
00:20teachings and blocking Christmas celebrations.
00:23Takiyudin claimed that no government ministries have openly organized religious celebrations
00:29other than Islamic events since the country's independence.
00:34He also claimed that Nga had violated the powers and jurisdiction of the Yangtipatuan
00:39Agong and the Malay rulers as heads of Islam by calling PAS a deviant party.

00:52organized by the Housing and Local Government Minister as it involved Muslim staff.
00:58Hanif said Nga should understand that Muslims were prohibited from getting directly involved
