Attorney-general (AG) Abdul Gani Patail is standing firm on his decision to close the case on the 321 copies of the Bible that were seized by the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) in January.

This is despite the Selangor Islamic Affairs Council's (Mais) refusal to return to the holy books to the Bible Society of Malaysia (BSM) and insistence that there is a case to be pursued.

"I have made a statement before this. I do not wish to elaborate further except for that I still hold to my opinion," he reportedly told Mingguan Malaysia .

Mais, a body answerable to the Selangor sultan, oversees Jais operations.

Abdul Gani ( left ) on Wednesday announced that the Attorney-General's Chambers has found no prosecution will be made as no law was breached.

He said investigation papers revealed the Al-Kitab, the Malay-language Bible, is a compilation of the Old and New Testaments and is essential text for Christians, and is not a security threat.

This prompted the Selangor government to instruct Jais to return the bibles to BSM.

However, Mais insists BSM has breached a Selangor enactment which bans non-Muslims from using the word 'Allah'.

It also refuses to return the copies of the Bible which are in the Malay and Iban languages.

The holy books were seized during a raid on BSM's Petaling Jaya premises.

Then BSM president Lee Min Choon and office manager Sinclair Wong were arrested in the raid.
