THE Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah decreed that people should never belittle, insult or ridicule religions in the name of freedom of expression. 

His Majesty also urged that the sanctity of all religions be preserved and respected at all times. 

“Religion is not something to be joked about or be used as a joke. 

“I am afraid that such an act will fan the flames of racism and destroy the bond of unity between all races that has been built over a long time,” said His Majesty in conjunction with the national-level Ma’al Hijrah 1444H celebration in conjunction with Warriors’ Day at the Federal Territory Mosque in Kuala Lumpur tonight. 

Also present was Raja Permaisuri Agong Tunku Hajah Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah. 

Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Idris Ahmad, and cabinet members were also in attendance. – Bernama, July 29, 2022.
