PAS accuses Yeoh of going against S'gor sultan and fatwa
Selangor PAS chief Sallehin Mukhyi today accused Deputy Women, Family and Community Development Minister Hannah Yeoh of going against the Selangor sultan and a state fatwa over an RM20,000 allocation she provided to Sisters in Islam (SIS).
Sallehin said this was because a state fatwa had decreed the NGO a "deviant" organisation.
"The Selangor fatwa committee and Selangor Islamic Religious Council (Mais) had decided that SIS has deviated from the teachings of Islam.
"The action of the deputy minister from DAP challenges the fatwa issued by Mais," he said in a statement today.
A 2014 fatwa issued by Mais declared SIS as deviating from Islamic teachings on the grounds that it adopts liberal ideologies.
The organisation's legal challenge against the edict is ongoing.
In his statement, Sallehin added that it was also an indirect challenge against the Selangor ruler, who overseas Islamic affairs in the state.
"PAS demands that the DAP deputy minister withdraws the allocation to SIS and apologise to the Selangor sultan, Mais and all Muslims," he said.
Yesterday, Yeoh had defended the allocation, stating that it was for SIS' Telenisa, a free legal aid clinic assisting Muslim women who need help in Islamic family law and syariah matters.
This taliban is protecting talibans personal interests because the funds goes to fight polygamous husbands. It helps the wives. So it is getting in their way of getting a bini no4. That’s why taliban are up in arms. The funds helps 2nd class Muslim women. True taliban behavior.
Fair civilized and compassionate person will salute her for supporting a taliban bullied group Pas. This is politics by politicians . Keep it up against IS pas.
When you call PAS are the Talibans of Malaysia, they get upset. Now you don't even have to say it, you can plainly see it. Majority Malaysia has defied these Talibans and Kleptokrats and is moving forward. Let not these minority Talibans control the narrative. Not only they are in the minority, just tell to shut-up and do what is best for the rakyat. The people are more concerned of bread and butter issues. We don't want Taliban rule in this country. PH must screen the horrors of the rule under Taliban and ISIS. I hope Gobind will take the initiative through RTM to screen the stories of rapes and murders of young women and even children by the ISIS and Talibans. Tear of the masks of these politicians masquerading in the guise of religion. Make Tun an exemplary example of a sincere and progressive Muslim who honestly cares that Malay Muslims should progress and be tall again.
