SUBANG Jaya assemblyman and Selangor Speaker Hannah Yeoh remained unperturbed despite having a police report lodged against her for “proselytising to Muslims”.

“My walk with God is genuine and I have told my personal story as it is in Becoming Hannah. Without Him, I am nothing and I am not ashamed to say it,” she said in a post published on her Facebook page this morning.

Becoming Hannah is Yeoh’s autobiography and touches on her journey in becoming wife, mother and politician. Yeoh, a lawyer by training, joined politics in 2008 and was elected as Subang Jaya assemblyman the same year.

Its soft launch was in 2014 and official launched a year later.

Universiti Utara Malaysia lecturer Dr Kamarul Yusoff today lodged a police report against Yeoh in Kedah, asking police to investigate whether the politician had been proselytising to Muslims with her book.

The political science lecturer said he had bought Yeoh’s book because he was interested in what politicians did and what inspired them.

“But what the book said was about how fortunate being a Christian is and how the Christian God is a loving, good and just god,” said Kamarul.

The book also contained parts of how Yeoh said she had “prophecies” on how she would one day be working with statesmen, he said. The book also recorded Yeoh’s “miracles”, said Kamarul.

“All her stories have inadvertently inspired her readers, including me, to be awed by her god.”

And since her book is widely available to the public, Kamarul said Yeoh may have broken the law under Section 4(1)(a) of the Enactment of Controls and Sanctions (Expansion of non-Islamic Religions) of Selangor 1988.

“I have no fear. Berani kerana benar. I sleep well at night because I have not stolen any taxpayers’ money and I am not corrupt,” Yeoh told The Malaysian Insight when she was asked about the police report.

She also believed that she will be judged based on her performance as the state assemblyman by the people in Subang Jaya whom she has served for the last nine years. – May 17, 2017.
