Nazri: Malaysia is not a secular state


While stopping short of declaring Malaysia to be an Islamic state, a federal minister stressed today that the country was not founded as a secular state.

Nor has it ever been declared or decided to be one, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz told the Dewan Rakyat during Question Time today.

"Malaysia was founded on the basis of an Islamic government, under the Malay rulers... The word secular does not exist at all anywhere in our federal constitution," Nazri said

What was clearly stated in the constitution, Nazri added, was that Islam is the religion of the federation.

He then went on to quote constitutional and legal provisions that preserve and protect the status and function of Islam in the country.
