| PM sends Onam greetings to Malayalee community Posted: 08 Sep 2011 06:40 AM PDT KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has sent Onam greetings to the Malaysian Malayalee community. Writing in his Facebook Thursday, the Prime Minister said: "As the Malayalee community in Malaysia ushers in the harvest and thanksgiving festival of Onam, a festival which is celebrated by all Malayalees, I call upon Malaysians to join me in wishing them 'Onam Ashamsegal'. "In the spirit of 1Malaysia, let us join our Malayalee friends in celebrating this festival together." Onam falls during the first month of the Malayalam calendar (Chingam, which is between August and September) and marks the homecoming of the legendary Emperor Mahabali. - Bernama |
| Mais: Shah Alam MP Khalid not allowed to give religious ceramah in S'gor Posted: 08 Sep 2011 06:35 AM PDT SHAH ALAM: Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad does not have the credentials to teach or give religious ceramah or talks in mosques and surau in the state, the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (Mais) confirmed Thursday. As such, the Selangor Islamic Religious Department's (Jais) move to call up Khalid for his statement over a complaint that he gave a religious ceramah at a surau in Klang last month was valid under the existing law, Mais chairman Datuk Mohamad Adzib Mohd Isa said. "YB Khalid Samad cannot give any religious talks, including tazkirah, ceramah, lectures or any religious input at mosques and surau in the whole of Selangor state as he does not have any credentials from Mais," he said in a statement here. Mohamad Adzib said the decision of the Mais Credentials Committee meeting on June 23, which rejected Khalid's appeal on the withdrawal of his credentials, was made in line with the consent of the Sultan of Selangor not to grant any politician credentials to teach or give talks on Islam in mosques and surau in the state. - Bernama Related Stories: |
