SHAH ALAM – Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil’s allegedly campaigning in a mosque in Kundang, Rawang in July, is considered to be resolved after an investigation by the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (MAIS).

MAIS chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof said that the investigation found that the Pakatan Harapan (PH) communications director only talked about current issues, not political issues.

“He (Fahmi) was replying to questions related to the concert (the controversial comments on the LGBT community by British band, The 1975) and the action taken to end the concert because it had violated the conditions which had been agreed upon.

“He did not mention politics in the mosque; in my view (this issue) is settled. He came to pray, he looked for a nearby mosque and surau. As a minister, he should provide clear answers to the questions asked by the congregants,” he told the media after officiating the Jalur Gemilang presentation, and flagging off the Ziarah Merdeka MAIS Convoy today.

Recently, several photos of Fahmi made the rounds on social media, with claims that he was speaking about political issues in the main prayer hall of the Nurul Yaqin Mosque, Kampung Melayu Seri Kundang, Rawang. – August 28, 2023
