A seminar against Christianisation was held in the Lendu, Malacca campus of Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) on Saturday, with one of the presenters being from the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM).

A picture of the seminar first posted online on Saturday, shows a slide presentation with the title 'Ancaman Gerakan Pemurtadan Kristianisasi' (Threat of Christian Proselytisation Movement).

The PDRM's logo appears on the slide presentation.

Malacca chief police officer Chua Ghee Lye confirmed that a Special Branch officer from Bukit Aman had attended the seminar as a presenter.

"The seminar touched upon attempts to convert Muslims to other religions, both in the country and in other nations.

"It was meant to strengthen the akidah (faiths) of Muslims, especially among university students," Chua told Malaysiakin i in a WhatsApp message.

Malaysiakini has contacted UiTM Lendu for a response.

Malacca UiTM corporate communications chief Siti Najah Raihan Sakrani echoed Chua, saying that the seminar was to strengthen the faith of Muslim students.

"The programme was for Muslim students and non-Muslim students were exempted because we did not want to create a controversy, where we might be accused of trying to convert them to Islam," she was reported as saying by Malay Mail Online .

While she did not elaborate on the Christianisation movement, she added that the seminar discussed current issues and history, such as the Islamic State threat, terrorism and the Crusades.
