KUCHING, Dec 22: Parti Bumi Kenyalang (PBK) president Voon Lee Shan is calling for Article 3(1) of the Federal Constitution to be amended to plug all ambiguities with regard to Sarawak’s official religion.
According to Voon, it must be stated clearly that Sarawak and Sabah are allowed to practise all religions in peace and harmony and that there is no official religion in both States.
He pointed out the Sarawak Constitution is clear that Sarawak has no official religion.
At the same time, Voon asserted that no federal and State funds should be used to propagate a particular religion alone in Malaysia, particularly in Sarawak and Sabah.
He said Article 3(1) of the Federal Constitution states that Islam is the official religion of the federation and other religions are to be practised in peace and harmony in Malaysia. — DayakDaily
