The Bar Council today called for the immediate withdrawal of the ban o­n the Iban-language Bible Bup Kudus saying that "it strikes at the very heart of the way we live as Malaysians".

Its chairperson Haji Kuthubul Zaman Bukhari said in a statement that the purported basis of the ban - the Bup Kudus has allegedly breached the guidelines for non-Islamic religious books - was not o­nly vague but also ominous.

It is also perplexing since the Bup Kudus has been used by the Ibans in Sarawak for religious purposes for the past 15 years, he said.
