Penang calls Umno ‘desperate’ for sermon claim

GEORGE TOWN, Aug 20 — The Penang Pakatan Rakyat (PR) administration denied today allegations by the state’s Umno information chief, Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, that Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng’s name was used in a Friday mosque sermon instead of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s.
State Islamic affairs and domestic trade executive councillor Malik Kassim said the sermon text prepared by the state Islamic affairs department had never replaced the name of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin with Lim’s.
“The state or the Islamic affairs department have not received or issued any directive regarding this issue,” said the Batu Maung assemblyman.
“In fact, the Islamic affairs department’s directive clearly states that permission must be obtained from the department before inviting an external khatib (sermon reader),” he said.
“I am sure that after failing to play up racial issues by trying to portray the state government as discriminating against the Malays and Islam, certain quarters are now trying to sabotage us by using this issue.”
Malik claimed “the desperate move” was meant to pit PR leaders against the Palace, which would then be used to anger the Malays.
He added the state government had proved that Islamic development in the state had always been a priority.
