00:00The government is working to strengthen Muslims' understanding about the challenges to their
00:05faith in light of concerns by certain parties about Christian proselytization movements
00:10in the country, says Religious Affairs Minister Naeem Mokhtar.
00:14In a written parliamentary reply, Naeem said the government took a serious view of any
00:19attempt to disrupt religious harmony in society, especially as Islam is the religion of the
00:24federation.
00:25Naeem also said the government was strengthening collaboration between religious institutions
00:29at the federal and state levels, as well as national security agencies, to monitor activities
00:35that could undermine the faith of Muslims.
00:38He was responding to a question from Pocosina MP Ahmad Sa'ad about the extent of the threat
00:43of Christianization in Malaysia.
00:45Naeem said the propagation of non-Islamic religions to Muslims was a sensitive issue
00:50that could threaten the country's peace, adding that action could be taken under the
00:54relevant state laws that control and restrict such matters.
00:58He said the government will continue to strengthen law enforcement and intensify Islamic missionary
01:03work and educational initiatives to ensure that Islam continues to thrive in Malaysia
01:08and that religious harmony in the country is preserved in line with the federal constitution.
