The Selangor government has dismissed any suggestion that it may follow Pahang's footsteps in banning religious materials of other faiths other than Islam in hotels.

"No, we have not even thought of that subject," Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim told a press conference in Klang this afternoon.

The Pahang Islamic and Malay Customs Council (MAIP) had prohibited hotel proprietors in the state from placing non-Muslim religious material in their rooms.

A total of 147 hotels across the state were informed of the ban on March 6.

MAIP deputy president Wan Abdul Wahid Hassan said placing such material would be tantamount to spreading other religions to Muslims, an offence carrying a fine of up to RM5,000 or not more than two years in jail.

"The letter of prohibition was issued under the Control and Restriction of the Propagation of Non-Islamic Religions Among Muslims Enactment 1989, in line with Article 11 (4) of the federal constitution," Wan Abdul Wahid was quoted as saying.

Selangor has a similar enactment which was used by the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) to raid the Bible Society of Malaysia in January.

Jais confiscated 351 Malay and Iban language copies of the Bible which used "Allah" to refer to God, a word outlawed for non-Muslims under the enactment.
