False Accusation against the Crown Prince of Selangor

The Royal Malaysian Police had announced that a disrupting news regarding His Royal Highness the Raja Muda (Crown Prince) of Selangor, Tengku Amir Shah has converted Catholicism was fake and slanderous action towards the Selangor Royal Family. The Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Khalid bin Abu Bakar stated, the Selangor's Palace has contacted him and confirmed that the news a fake.

The Police IGP also added that the false news has not only worried the Sultan of Selangor but also to the Royal Family as a whole. What worse is the news also resulted anxiety among the public. The issue more or less stating that the Crown Prince of Selangor had converted Catholicism in order to marry his so called girlfriend, Christina Gomez.

Nevertheless, the news that goes viral like wildfires over the internet sources from WorldNewsDailyReport.com is actually belong to an American with Zionist Jews descent and based in Tel Aviv, Israel. In other perspectives, it can also be seen as an attack to one of the most revered institution in Malaysia, the Monarchy by outsider. It can also be seen as a way to sabotage the royal family and blend hatred among the public to the royal family. Especially, this event took place since the Gaza-Israel conflict occurred where Malaysia takes an action against Israel and supporting Palestine at all cost.

AL-FATIHAH

Discussion : Sultan of Selangor is the Head of Religion

Pasca General Election 2013 mark a new story for the richest state in Malaysia, the State of Selangor Darul Ehsan fondly known as the Land of Goodness. The recent event of the word Allah when the Sultan of Selangor announce the word Allah is exclusive to Muslim only has started some uproar. And since that, it has become an open debate in the social media and internet stating the Sultan is only the Head of Islam. Nevertheless, the Sultan action is actually a manifestation of the Sultan power and authority, where His Royal Highness is not just a mere Head of Islam, but the State Constitution under Article 48 clearly stated him as 'the Head of Religion'.

Having read the constitution myself, it is clear that the State Constitutional Monarchy is not just a figurehead, but an institution to be reckon with, and having absolute power over religion. The article above reserve a power for His Royal Highness that, under his jurisdiction he has the power and authority over all religions that may affect Islam. If His Royal highness's stated that the word Allah used by other religion may affect Islam, then he has a say in that matter.

And until now, the Sultan of Selangor is not alone. 2 other monarchs, His Royal Highness the Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan and His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong under his capacity as the Sultan of Kedah has taken the same side as the Sultan of Selangor. Do not question the exclusiveness of the word Allah by Muslim.

The word Allah ; Between Islam and Christian

The difference of opinions between the Catholic Church in Selangor and the State of Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor, JAIS) have entered a new chapter today after the Islamic Department have raided the Bible Society of Malaysia, where 300 copies of the Bibles in Bahasa Malaysia and iban were seized. The Church and the State's JAIS have been at odd especially regarding the question whether the Catholic Church in Malaysia could used the word 'Allah' to refer to the word God in the Malay translation of the Bible. The Catholic Church had contested this in court and won a High Court decision in 2009, upholding its constitutional rights to do so. Putrajaya later appealed the decision and successfully overturned the earlier decision when the Court of Appeal ruled in October 2013 that 'Allah was not integral to the Christian faith'.

HRH the Sultan of Selangor is the Head of Islam in Selangor

In the Federation, the power of Islamic Affairs are in the hand of the States. 9 of them which have hereditary rulers, also known as 'the Malay States' have separate Islamic Religious Councils and Departments, including having each Monarch as the State's Head of Islam. In the case of Selangor, the Sultan of Selangor, His Royal Highness Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah has also stated that the word 'Allah' are exclusive to Muslims and the other religions are prohibited to use it. One of the Catholic Priest in the State, Father Lawrence Andrew, openly against it and stated that all catholic churches in the State will used the word 'Allah' in their weekend services in Bahasa Malaysia, primarily attended by Sabahan and Sarawakian.

The question that usually arise is what authority that the Islamic Department has to prevent the other religion to use the word 'Allah'. The answer is simple, because the State Constitution has already been enacted about it by the previous BN government, and the State Islamic Council has the jurisdiction regarding the Islamic Affairs, as well as the other religious affairs in the State by the State's Selangor Non-Islamic Religion (Control of Propagation among Muslims) enactment 1988. Among the words and phrases that prohibits non-muslims to used in the State includes 'Allah', 'Nabi', 'Injil' and 'In Shaa Allah'.

JAIS, the Islamic religious affairs of Selangor

Personal opinion

It is more prudent for the other non-islamic religion to comply with the ruling regarding these issues. It is a sensitives issues I agreed and cannot be openly discussed. And among the Federation most prominent Ulama', among others Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz bin Nik Mat also against it (even though in favour of it earlier). And personally, I too feels there is the need to neglect the confusion between these two religions.

Nevertheless, I have in the past having professional discussion with one of my Iban friend regarding the matter, and both of us actually understand the problem that we face. But what he has stated also acted as the eye-opener for me, "Only those who doesn't read Al-Quran would have confused between the verses of Al-Quran and Al-Kitab". Previously, I too have been encouraged by one of the Ulama' in Malaysia to read an Al-Quran which have both Arabic and Malay Translation every time reading it, and now I see why.

Tan Sri Khalid reappointed as Menteri Besar of Selangor

His Royal Highness the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah consented to re-appoint Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim as the Menteri Besar for second consecutive term.

In the election, Pakatan Rakyat which consist of PAS, DAP and PKR won the election with a number of seats of 15-15-14 out of 56 contested seats in the election. Thus, led to a question whether the position of Menteri Besar will be given to PAS. Nevertheless, all of PR component parties unanimously agreed and sent only a single candidate for the position of Menteri Besar to the Sultan.
