Books on Shiite teachings are being distributed to Muslims, including Umno leaders in Perlis, claimed a party leader today.

Arau Umno religious bureau chairperson Amar Hassan claimed that Arau division leader Shahidan Kassim was among those who had received the books.

He said he was concerned that the distribution of the books could affect the faith of Muslims in the country who belonged to the Sunni sect.

Amar said he would lodge a police report and also inform the Perlis Islamic Religious Department on the matter.
